I guess this is real, not some prank using a mechanical shark. If so, strange to see such vigorous tail movement in shallow water.
Bear attacks dog, man in Litchfield
Multiple agencies responded to a bear attack in Litchfield on Saturday.
LITCHFIELD, Conn. (WFSB) - Multiple agencies responded to a bear attack in Litchfield on Saturday.
Officials say a 65-year-old man was bit by a bear on Baldwin Road just before 11:15 a.m.
The bear was inspecting birdfeeders on a person’s porch when a dog spotted it walking into the yard and chased it. The bear attacked the dog and the homeowner intervened.
The bear attacked the homeowner who suffered non-life threatening injuries, officials with DEEP said. The homeowner was transported to the hospital and the dog was transported to a veterinary hospital.
State police said the homeowner was bitten on the hand. The extent of the dog’s injuries is not yet known.
The bear went into the woods and was not found by officers.
State police, DEEP, and EnCon police were all called to the scene.
With the holiday weekend, DEEP urges residents to be extra cautious when grilling or eating food outside. They said grills should be cleaned and put away and recommend keeping garbage inside.
They also released a statement regarding leaving birdfeeders up:

Bears getting in fights with dogs is not really unusual. I went hiking in the mountains once with my dog and a forest ranger approached me and said that I couldn't take the dog as bears had been sighted in the area recently and bears and dogs are enemies and if the bear saw the dog, it would attack. And this was many, many years ago.

If it IS real, that shark looks like it's having convulsions!
It's real. It's a tuna, not a shark. They normally stay in deeper water so it is unusual. Doesn't look like normal hunting behaviour for that species, it's quite agitated.
They do farm tuna around Malta and so it could have escaped from a farm and become disoriented. Possibly injured too.

Very wild reaction. Maybe he felt or saw something, cats are good at that. Maybe an attachment on the legs of the guy. Because the way he acted is super strange. I doubt a sound made him become aggressive with the man. But maybe, I don't know. Or something the cat saw around the legs, a spirit, something that we humans can not see...

According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife, a sheepherder was attacked and severely injured by a black bear in the Weminuche Wilderness, about 23 miles northeast of Durango.
At about 1 a.m. on Tuesday, the 35-year-old sheepherder reports that he was woken up by a disturbance at his campsite involving a bear and his sheep while working under a grazing permit for the San Juan National Forest.
The sheepherder fired a .30-30 rifle at the bear, with the bear then attacking him. The man sustained bite wounds on his head, as well as wounds on his left hand and arm, his left hip, and his back.
Following the violent encounter, the sheepherder crawled to his tent and contacted his cousin who was able to call for additional help.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife heard about the attack at about 4 a.m., responding to the campsite near Burnt Timber Trail by 8:30 a.m. Once at the scene, they discovered two dead sheep with wounds consistent with bear depredation, as well as a blood trail and the victim's rifle.
The team collected multiple DNA samples from the scene and from the victim.
Unsure if the man had hit the bear with bullets from his rifle, CPW officers started to search for the bear. A dog team arrived at about 5 p.m., soon latching on to a scent trail at a nearby creek drainage. The dogs followed the scent to a bear, which they pursued to the Florida River over steep and treacherous terrain.
CPW officers followed the dogs with the help of a GPS collar on one of the dogs. The suspect bear was located and killed via gunshot at about 10:53 p.m.
Once the bear was recovered, it was determined that it was a roughly-8-year-old male, weighing 250 pounds. The bear had wounds on its chest, but it was unclear if they were from a gunshot.
Lab results from the DNA that was collected will be used to determine if the bear that was killed was the bear involved in the attack. Sheep wool was found in the bear's stomach contents.
The victim received initial treatment at the scene and was ultimately flown to Grand Junction for surgery.
This is the first reported bear attack of the year in Colorado.
Bear attacks are rare in Colorado and tend to occur when a bear is surprised, cornered, or being defensive. It's generally best to simply steer clear of black bears, giving them plenty of space when spotted. If an attack involving a black bear is imminent, fight back – don't play dead as is the recommended advice for a grizzly encounter.
