I'm a kid of the Jaws generation, too. And I scared myself further with Deep Water. However…I have petted a shark. And I swam with the sharks in Galveston. Long story that last one. Good, informative post. 😀

Thanks for the comment, Angela. I love the beach but live too far away from the ocean to have much hope, lol.

I admit, I've always seen sharks as scary. Your post with it's myth-busting info is great. I don't like the beach anyway, so no tempting sharks for me. 😛

AnnieThat's too bad. Jaws is great, but it's so inaccurate. Yes, that's exactly what happened to the seal, and Great Whites could do it to us, too. But they're not maneaters. They just what they do, lol.Thanks!

I know I should be over the trauma of Jaws, but that damn movie ruined the ocean for me. Yesterday as I was walking on the beach a seal had washed up on shore with a MAJOR chunk out of his middle. No doubt a shark and one more reminder that the Great Whites could put me in Great Red with one bite.

Have you seen the articles about the Great Whites they've periodically kept in captivity at the Monterey Bay Aquarium? Quite interesting.

I've always been obsessed with Great Whites. Dangerous yet intriguing. I like my male characters much the same way! ;)Excellent post!

SueThose are definitely reasons why a Great White would go after a human. Yes, dangerous if provoked, but often that provoking is simply curiosity and trying to figure out if they've found food.Thanks for posting. Your trilogy sounds interesting!
