I'd be more worried about the shark these guys are tough lads much along the lines of your Seals so the shark will have been lucky if it got away with it's head still on.

Subject: RE: Shark Attack

From what I know about Bull Sharks, they get the name from their tenacity in attacks. Unlike some sharks that take a bite and leave the scene the Bull Shark will remain in the area and continue to attack. The Bull Shark is also able to live for extended periods in fresh water. One story I saw on TV showed the little baby Bulls in the Sydney area. They live upstream and grow untill they are able to venture out to the open ocean. They are tough little critters.
