Some dream of swimming with dolphins – but they’d probably be happy to
leave dancing with tiger sharks to Hannah Fraser.
The British model wore just a bikini and striped body paint as she
waltzed with the world’s deadliest shark species in the Bahamas.
She even touched the heads and fins of her sharp-toothed partners,
which could have maimed her with a single bite but seemed quite content to
share the water with the 38-year-old.
The stunt was set up to call attention to the plight of the sharks,
which – already threatened by fishing – are being culled after attacking
swimmers in Australia.
Ms Fraser, who lives in LA, admitted: ‘I was feeling very anxious the
first time I got into the water. The most important aspect was knowing how
their minds worked, finding out what triggered them to use their mouths and
teeth to inspect or react to situations.
‘I learned how to touch them in the right way to allow a connection
that they felt comfortable with – and I found out that they actually love being
tickled on the nose.’
so brave, how many people would do this? she even said goodbye to her family before entering the water, in case she was killed by a tiger shark. Cant think of many people with that courage and in such a good cause too.
