Oceans? Shark attacks have occurred up the Mississippi River to Minnesota and on the Great Lakes. Far up rivers on the Gulf & East Coast rivers.

“How lucky do you feel, or are you afraid of flying also?”

I did most of my sky diving at a company that had the highest injury and death rate anywhere in the US.

“Shark attacks have occurred up the Mississippi River to Minnesota and on the Great Lakes. Far up rivers on the Gulf & East Coast rivers.”

I can guess they were not great whites. Possibly bulls as they have displayed a capacity for fresh water and to my knowledge, the only shark large enough to attack in the USA rivers and lakes. There are 8 types of sharks that can live in fresh water.

Most of them don’t look like a shark we have grown accustomed to and most live on the other side of the world from us in Asia and Australia. A good article for why on this is:
