CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — The sudden death of an American diver in the jaws of a great white shark off Australia’s southwest coast has raised the specter of a rogue man-eater preying on a renowned aquatic playground and killing three men in two months.
Scientists say three sharks more likely are responsible, and the three cases are merely unfortunate encounters with nature.
Australia’s southwest corner has been better known for whale and dolphin-watching cruises than for fatal shark attacks.
