Philip Islanders in Victoria, Australia are in the “jaws” of a dilemma.
This dilemma is embodied by a sea creature about twenty feet long, 3,500 to 4,000 pounds, armed with a mouthful of razor-sharp serrated-edged teeth (think steak knives) and who seems to enjoy hanging around bathing areas just before or just at sunset. This creature [...]
