With a variety of water temperatures ranging between 12 and 24 °C (54 and 75 °F) fueled by the gulf stream, the south Atlantic is arguably the preferred home of the world's largest predatory fish—the shark.
Sharks are rabid feeders and expert prehistoric hunters who belong to a group of underwater killers, which include stingrays, and they are unarguably at the summit of their oceanic food chain.

Generally the shark will feed on marine mammals, or in the rare case, sea birds. However, relying mainly on its keen sense of smell, it will attempt to eat almost anything—including humans.
The above attack, according to the translated article, dated, February, 2013, occurred on a beach near the aforementioned Sergipe, at the Capital, Aracaju.
The victim, a 22-year-old Brazilian female, was swimming near the same spot where, according to sources, local fishermen from the area had previously reported seeing two great white sharks swimming in shallow water on Monday, December 10, 2012.

But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in atlantic city."
