Question

Sydney¡ªA shark savaged a schoolboy's leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23£®It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia's largest city in a month£®

The 15-year-old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon, on Sydney's northern beaches, around dawn when he was attacked£®The city's beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months£®

"The father heard a scream and turned to see his son trashing £¨Å¤¶¯£© about in the water," police said£®"Fortunately, the shark swam away and the boy was helped to shore by his father£®

Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller: "It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of water£®" He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to shore£®"There was a lot of pain, as you can imagine"£®The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries£®

Police said the bites" cut through to the bone" , but the boy did not appear to have sustained any fractures £¨¹ÇÕÛ£©£®He was in a stable condition now£®

Several beaches were closed after the attack£®Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark, while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks£®But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy£®"I don't even know if he saw it," Miller said£®

Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney's beaches, but attacks on humans are still relatively rare£®However, there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month, one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor, not far from the famous Opera House, and the other on a surfer at the city's world-famous Bondi beach£®

Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise£®There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor, which has increased fish stocks£®Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment, attracting sharks closer to shore as they chase fish£®Many shark species, including the Great White¡ªthe man-eater made famous in Steven Spielberg's Jaws¡ªare protected in Australian waters£®
