Maybe you don't watch enough tv or the wrong tv. It was one bear and every
bear seems to learn to fish in its own way. It isn't instinct.
As for sharks, if its meat and they can get to it, they'll eat it though I
don't know anything suggesting that attacks are common. I don't know if
gators do but a big one might well do so. The main killer of sirenia in
Florida are boats.
