During his scary encounter with the 4- to 5-foot-long (1.2-1.5 m) shark, Smith Point Beach lifeguard Zack Gallo was bit in the chest and right hand, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone reportedly stated at a news conference.,"He was playing the role of a victim, and in the midst of that, actually became a victim when this shark bite occurred,” the official noted.,Bellone reportedly claimed that Gallo defeated the shark by "punching down" on it. According to the report, the lifeguard's hand injuries "occurred as he was beating off the shark," and after that interaction ended.",The lifeguard reportedly was "bleeding significantly" when other guards who were already in the water for the exercise raced to aid him, but the victim surprisingly managed to get out of the water unaided.,After being bandaged, the injured lifeguard was brought to a nearby hospital.,“Fortunately, he is doing well,’’ the official said. “He’s in very good spirits at Southside Hospital … getting some stitches.",The attack caused the beach to be closed. Later, the same shark may have been spotted by police using a drone to monitor the ocean, according to the report, but the authorities could not determine if it was the same shark or not.,Even more to the news about sharks getting dangerously close is that Cupsogue, a second beach east of Smith Point, was also reportedly closed on Sunday "due to dangerous marine activity.",On July 1, a 57-year-old swimmer in the area of Jones Beach in Nassau County experienced a "possible shark bite," the police said. This incident prompted the authorities to increase beach patrols ahead of Fourth of July.,Shark attacks on Long Island are "very rare," but recently they have reportedly become more frequent. More shark sightings have occurred in the last two years than in the prior ten years combined.,Two Women Killed in Shark Attack Off Egypt's Red Sea CoastYesterday, 13:00 GMT。 (ECNS) -- Ronald Sakolsky, a retired U.S. teacher, stood once again in China's Mu Us Desert on Monday, planting three saplings alongside environmentalist Yin Yuzhen and her husband Bai Wanxiang. The moment renewed a friendship forged 26 years ago when Sakolsky donated $5,000 to help Yin battle desertification and planted a tree with her. That single act has since grown into a forest of more than 50,000 trees, transforming barren sand into green cover. "It's a miracle," Sakolsky said, gazing at the forest. Yin recalled the years of struggle against shifting dunes, saying the return of her old friend symbolized how persistence and cooperation can change landscapes.
