What’s the weekend for? Getting weird. And if you’re in Australia, getting weird apparently means donning a body suit before taking to the ocean floor and breaking it down with a dozen tiger sharks. Hannah Fraser, a celebrated mermaid — yes, mermaid — and otherwise dedicated conservationist, decided to make a profound statement in opposition to her government’s shark cull philosophy. Did we mention she’s a mermaid, meaning she didn’t need any underwater artificial breathing devices? For good measure: she’s a mermaid, meaning she didn’t need any underwater artificial breathing devices. Given the common public perception of tiger sharks, this is powerful, however “weird” it might be.

This is definitely in the do-not-try-at-home category. Perhaps the body suit and her particularly fluid body movements make her look like an unappetizing length of seaweed…?
