Man eating sharks make this golf course a killer (video)

Years back, a river broke its banks and flooded the Carabrook Golf Club in Queensland Australia. Several man eating bull sharks came into the course during the flood and became stranded at the 14th tee when the water receded.

Now at least six of these creatures are calling this home, thriving and even breeding. 'You can't believe how close you are…just six feet away,' club general manager Scott Wagstaff told Sky News.

There's no drama, it's become a positive thing for the golf course. They are amazing. I've become a shark lover since working here.'

In fact, just as many tourists come to see the sharks dorsal fins slice through the water as do golfers looking for a day on the course. There was a time when local children would jump into the lake to retrieve golf balls for resale. Needless to say, those days have past.

The bull shark is known for its ability to thrive in both salt and fresh water. They have been known to travel up rivers and take up residence in many lakes such as Lake Nicaragua. Bull sharks have been encountered in the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.

There are believed to be more than 500 bull sharks in the Brisbane River with reports of the sharks swimming up a flooded street at times.

The sharks at the golf course are between 8-10 feet long and while there have been no incidents at the golf course, bull sharks have been known to attack and kill humans in the past. Wagstaff even like to feed the hungry sharks at times throwing in chunks of meat to prod the sharks to the surface.

"I'm sure they are aggressive when you are in the water but when you are out here feeding them, they are beautiful to watch."
