    I can still FEEL and SMELL ok....

    Puts us right on the edge with the Great Whites eh. (And I meant this as a non racial remark... I'm surprised they haven't banned the Great Whites in SA all together...;))

    Some have speculated that Megalodons could still exist in the deep oceans...

    Would love to land one of those suckers with my rod & reel :cool:

    Coelacanths were thought to be extinct for millions of years and were found to alive and well off the coast of South Africa during 1938. So far for fossils then :(
    It may be possible these creatures lurks somewhere in the oceans and perhaps be responsible for some mysterious disappearances of smaller craft at sea.....
