IS it really the same shark that's been killing people?


How do they know that it's the same shark that's been killing people? Could be hundreds of sharks in the sea.

Great Whites usually like warmer waters - California, S Africa, Australia etc - as Brody kinda pointed when talking to Hooper. Great Whites aren't pack hunters either. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think there's been a shark attack off the n east coast of the US since 1916.

Besides all that, the book was about just the one.

acriser15, there are all kinds of sharks in the waters you know? Hammer heads, white tips, blues, makos and the chances that these bozos got the exact shark, it's a hundred to one. A hundred to one. Now I'm not saying that this not the shark it probably is! It's a man-eater, it's extremely rare for these waters, but the fact is the bite radius on this animal is different than the wounds on the victim. I just, I want to be sure. You want to be sure. We all want to be sure. Okay? Now what I want to do is very simple. This digestive system of this animal is very, very slow. Let's cut it open, whatever its eaten in the last 24 hours is bound to still be in there. And then we'll be sure.

I don't recall seeing this post the first time around. Thanks, sweet-cheeks. I think you mean it's my work you're loving. If you "love" me in your dreams you better wake up and apologise.

Scrap that. I just had this mental image of you having a wet dream (eek) about me (eew) and then waking up, rolling over and apologising to me.

No.

I bet that Tiger Shark killed Chrissie Watkins.

Hooper confirmed it when he threw her legs across the dock at Brody.

I bet you'd like to prove that huh? That multiple sharks killed multiple people in the same vicinity within a few days time? Get your name in the National Geographic?

Bite radius. That's all there is to it.

You stand corrected.

Wonder how they knew it was the same shark?

Oh! Now there's no other sharks like this in these waters!

I have an answer to that but I value my neck a whole lot more than some flimsy holiday roast....

They realized it was the same as it was the right height and the teeth marks matched. I remember the doctor explaining how the one they found didn't meet the description.
