Sydney (Australia), 11 may (EFE).- Una mujer australiana salvó de la muerte a un bañista que había sido atacado por un tiburón que le había arrancado partes de una pierna, informó hoy la prensa local.

El ataque del escualo tuvo lugar ayer por la mañana, cuando Joanne Lucas, una residente de Middleton Beach, en el estado de Australia Occidental, oyó los gritos de Jason Cull, de 37 años, y se zambullió en el agua para rescatarle, según el diario "The Sunday Telegraph".

"Lo hice por instinto, ni siquiera pensé en ello", declaró Lucas.

Explicó que se apresuró tanto en sacar del mar a Cull que no miró si había regresado el escualo, de cuatro metros de largo, habitual en estas aguas.

Cull, un profesor de escuela y quien estaba nadando con delfines cuando fue sorprendido por el ataque del tiburón, ingresó poco después en un hospital cercano y se encuentra estable tras haber sido operado.

Tras el incidente, las autoridades cerraron temporalmente la playa y voluntarios y pescadores peinan las aguas para tratar de alejar de allí a los escualos.

Los ataques de tiburón son habituales en Australia, donde cada año mueren por este motivo una decena de personas. EFE

la diferencia entre un tiburon saesino y un hombre asesino es que el tiburon mata por hambre ,mientras que el hombre lo hace por deporte.

Eso es porque Dios le dió permiso al hombre para comer carne de animales, pero no le ha dado permiso a los animales para comerse al hombre...todavia.

El hombre se pasa la vida comiendo tiburon y cuando se invierte la cadena...se forma tremendo escandalo.
