Shark: Unidentified: probably a Bull Shark or Black Tip

Spending his off-duty time getting in some surfing at New Smyrna Beach, Florida, a lifeguard was bitten on the left foot in yet another shark attack in the Volusia County area. This was exactly the same area that another shark attack occurred just the day before.

This marks the 19th incident this year in Volusia County. The county’s Beach Patrol often warns of the higher concentration of sharks in the waters when bait fish are in the area. When there are pelicans diving into the water and dolphins in the area, these are all indications that swimmers should probably leave the water.

Shark: Six foot

This beach is just loaded with sharks!

New Smyrna Beach, Florida continues to add to its shark attack statistics. Apparently, there are over two attacks per month in the area. They aren’t usually fatal, but annoying — or frightening enough to warrant a constant scanning of the ocean around you.

26-year-old Alexander Zgura was the latest surfer to be mistaken for fish food. He was surfing on the New Smyrna Beach side of the Ponce de Leon Inlet when a six foot shark bit into his left leg. He chose to drive himself to the hospital to take care of the 12-16 cuts between his knee and ankle.

Just two days before, a 20-year-old surfer was also bitten on the foot.
