OT: Darwinism at its finest
A shark attacked and injured a Canadian tourist as she tried to take its picture in the Turks and Caicos Islands earlier this month, according to local authorities.
The attack occurred the morning of February 7 at a beach on Providenciales, one of the territory’s eastern islands, per a statement from the Royal Turks and Caicos Island Police Force.
“The 55-year-old victim was brought ashore and rushed to the Cheshire Hall Medical Center for treatment,” the police statement said, adding that an investigation into the incident is ongoing.
In a press statement posted on social media, the Caribbean territory’s environmental department said that the tourist “had attempted to engage with the animal from the shallows in an attempt to take photographs.”
“The shark was estimated to be approximately 6ft in length, however the species is yet to be confirmed,” it continued.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Darwinism is right. Surprised there's not more of this considering how many ass hats try to record every damn thing they do in the pursuit of views and likes. It's a crazy mixed up world we live in.
