Got an idea for next month's banner?
That's awesome! When I was a kid we sometimes used to go to the breakwater in New Plymouth at dusk and watch the fish jump out of the water (I have no idea why they did that, maybe that was a good time for sharks to hunt?).
Or kingfish, hapuka... that sounds cool, regular fish jumping shows!
Have to admit after a few fish jumping yesterday I had a brief moment of thinking hang on why exactly are good-sized fish trying to escape, but then I remembered sharks don't really want to eat humans.
It doesn't mean they don't occasionally eat one anyway 😆
Shhh ha ha.
They've only killed like 13 or 14 people since NZ started recording it.
