Police said they had been told the woman was swimming off the wharf when the shark attacked her. While shark sightings along Sydney's ocean-facing beaches are common, attacks in its iconic harbour are rare. Monday's incident took place near the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. "Shark bites are really rare ... the last incident that occurred in Sydney Harbour was in 2009," Amy Smoothey, senior shark scientist at the New South Wales department of primary industries, told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.Based on the bite patterns and images provided, the woman was likely attacked by a bull shark, Smoothey said.

Sharks in a golf course pond is odder still. They are somewhat of a scientific marvel because they've lived in freshwater longer than any other bull shark that scientists have observed. AdvertisementAdvertisementAccording to a recent study, these bull sharks in the golf course pond lived there for an estimated 17 years — more than half of bull sharks' projected 30-year life span.
