Tiger Shark Unscrews Scuba Diver!

Hello.

The unfortunate circumstances of being around wild animals.

As I said many, many, many times, you can't fix stupid.

A Jamaican teen was killed by a tiger shark while scuba diving. It decapitated him.

Now authorities are trying to find the shark so they can retrieve what little of his body inside the large fish.

The tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) is a species of ground shark, and the only extant member of the genus Galeocerdo and family Galeocerdonidae. It is a large macropredator, with females capable of attaining a length of over 5 m (16 ft 5 in). Populations are found in many tropical and temperate waters, especially around central Pacific islands. Its name derives from the dark stripes down its body, which resemble a tiger's pattern, but fade as the shark matures.

The tiger shark is a solitary, mostly nocturnal hunter. It is notable for having the widest food spectrum of all sharks, with a range of prey that includes crustaceans, fish, seals, birds, squid, turtles, sea snakes, dolphins, and even other, smaller sharks. It also has a reputation as a "garbage eater", consuming a variety of inedible, man-made objects that linger in its stomach. Tiger sharks have only one recorded natural predator, the orca. It is considered a near threatened species because of finning and fishing by humans.

The tiger shark is second only to the great white in recorded fatal attacks on humans, but these events are still exceedingly rare.

Jamaican teen loses his life to a shark attack.

Police said secondary school pupil Jahmari Reid, from the Trelawny area in northwest Jamaica, vanished on Monday while at sea alone.

He was spearfishing in waters just north of the island, near the popular tourist town of Montego Bay.

Fishermen found his body the following day with injuries consistent with a shark attack, police said.

Local media reported he had been decapitated with one of his arms bitten off, and that efforts to kill the shark and recover the severed head are ongoing.

Jahmari's father Michael Reid told the Jamaica Observer: "I can't believe that he went to sea by himself and that was the outcome. Sad to know. I feel so bad."

Shark attacks are rare, with a total of 69 confirmed unprovoked attacks worldwide and 14 fatalities reported last year, according to the Florida-based International Shark Attack File.

Can we do a Darwin Award for the most stupidest people on the planet?

You can't fix stupid!

You can't change minds!

You are completely trapped in stupid.

You are wrapped and emboldened in stupid.

Again, why do white people always treat wild animals like they're domesticated? 

I would never touch a wild animal. 

Alas, some people think that animals are timid when you're petting them. Nope.
