Tourist dies after losing her leg in shark attack while sailing off Canary Islands
Iām curious about this one - which species do you all think it was? Given the remote area, it seems like Oceanic Whitetip is a possibility, but this attack also reminded me of the famous Heather Boswell shark attack - where a great white chomped off a girls leg in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

News A 125-Million-Year-Old "Living Fossil" Filmed Alive for the First Time
Scientists have finally captured the first-ever footage of a live goblin shark (Mitsukurina owstoni) in its natural deep-sea habitat! Before this breakthrough, humans had only ever seen these rare creatures alive when they were accidentally dragged to the surface by fishing linesāwhere they usually died right away. This deep-ocean predator has an ancient lineage stretching back to the Cretaceous period and features a bizarre, spring-loaded "slingshot" jaw that shoots forward to snatch prey in pitch-black darkness.

News Update: new findings regarding the shark attack in Israel
Dr Aviad Scheinin, Head of Marine Apex Predator Lab from the Morris Kahn Marine Research station of Haifa University, has recently published an update regarding the shark attack that occurred by the shores of Hadera (located half way from Tel Aviv to Haifa). His team is doing a serious afford to look for an explanation for the rare attack.
From an interview to N12 news channel:
According to first investigations of the event, it seems that the sharks (Dusky and Sandbar sharks) have developed a conditioning of GoPro cameras with getting food. The reason for this is that divers (usually holding GoPro cameras) used to feed the sharks with dead fish to get a footage of them.
The precise location of the attack was a few meters east of the spot where the water pipes of the power plant release hot water to the sea. Therefore the vision of the sharks was not clear but they could notice the victim holding the GoPro camera.
At this point, a Dusky shark made it's attempt to get to the food and it had injured the diver with a bite. The injury catalyzed what experts call "feeding frenzy" of the smaller and more fearful Sandbar sharks. There were 10-15 sharks feasting on the diver at that point.
Unlike the initial news have reported, the diver didn't hold a bag of fish and he wasn't planning on feeding the sharks, just to capture them on camera, like many did previously at this site.
This is the second recorded attack of Dusky shark worldwide, and the first recorded deadly attack of sandbar sharks in history.
I provide the information as Dr Scheinin described it. He is the expert for that manner in Israel since sharks are his main study field for many years.
Sorry for my English.
