BRISBANE, Australia - Golfers in Australia better make sure that their golf balls don't land in the water.

That's because bout six sharks have infested the lake at this golf course near Brisbane.

Some of them are almost 10 feet long!

Heavy flooding recently caused the bull sharks to wash into the lake.

Despite their new surrounding, the animals look like they're thriving, with some of them even breeding.

The new companions don't appear to be affecting the golfers' game, as players continue to tee off close by.
