It’s a carcaradon carcharias

So Last week I finished this book about sharks. Now, all I can think of is this:
No matter how bored or stuck I become, no matter how happy or successful or stable or whatever, no matter what degree of certainty or uncertainty I experience on a day to day basis, nothing can change the fact that in a small New Jersey hamlet in 1916, a young kid who was swimming in a small creek with his cousins was suddenly, unexpectedly eaten alive by a great white shark.

Eh sucks to be that kid.

The attack was actually by a bull shark and not a great white. Unfortunately the great white is blamed for another of the bull sharks fresh/brackish water victims.. Of course no conclusive evidence found it to be a great white, but alas the tragedy was blamed on this wonderful creature.. I wonder how we would react if we were wiped out by the 10’s of millions every year so we could become some fodder in soup..
