Shark Attack or Killer Whale « Posted: 06 April 2011 at 07:36 PM »
Something is killing porpoise and seals off the Norfolk coast. Recent attacks leave large bite marks and chunks taken out of two victims. One at Hemsby another at Horsey. There has been others in the recent past and they are no longer being put down to ships propellers as a cause.
I like my summer swim in the sea, should i think twice about it this year?

I saw the article in todays EDP and the bite marks are pretty small so a small shark that normally occurs in the north sea cant think what it maybe called, is probably responsible. Certainly not a killer whale or great white shark as there would be nothing left of the porpoises found.

A few weeks a ago there was 'half' a porpoise on the tideline on Gunton Beach.

Be careful Malcolm dont want too many reports of 'beached whales' this summer Grin

Porbeagle possibly, basking sharks despite their size have no teeth as they feed on plankton.

My friend last summer saw through his telescope a Thresher shark leaping out of the water off Kessingland, never seen anything like it in his life and probably never will again! Im not sure what water temperatures sharks like, at this time of the year the North Sea is very cold.
