In July 1916, a series of shark attacks along the New Jersey coast left four dead and one injured, inciting widespread panic and inspiring the iconic film Jaws.
While a great white shark was captured and blamed, modern experts suggest a different culprit: the bull shark. Known for its ability to thrive in both salt and freshwater, the bull shark's unique adaptability and aggressive nature make it a prime suspect.
Join us as we delve into the events of 1916, examine the evidence, and explore why the bull shark might be the true predator behind these historic attacks.
We also talk with a shark expert from Texas on shark population trends and learn about an exciting potential shark deterrent that's simple and has the potential to save people and sharks.
