Riverton Coastguard President Ross McKenzie was surprised when he heard about the incident. According to him, this is the first shark attack in the estuary. However, he noted that fishermen have spotted sharks in the area before.
Local authorities warned against night swims and urged to be more careful near the water locals and visitors to Riverton, which is considered a resort town.
Earlier it was reported that in Mexico, the authorities are investigating the attack of an unknown animal on two tourists. Authorities have not yet been able to determine who exactly attacked the vacationers, but suggest that it could be a shark or crocodile.
