Recollecting what happened the last time shark attacks were in the news, this could tend to make me a little nervous.

I have lived at the NJ shore for most of my life. My first guess was it was a Bull. This is the first in my lifetime that I have heard of a Great White attack at the NJ shore. Unusual for them to be so close to shore. Expect a "debunking" soon...

Investigation of 1916 shark attacks continues

1916 Shark Attack. 1916 Shark Attack at Matawan Creek, New Jersey

Weird NJ - the Matawan man-eater

Tiger Shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) -- could this species be the New Jersey Maneater?  It seems possible but unlikely.

Bull Shark (Carcharhinus leucas) -- this species is notorious for entering fresh water and attacking people there, 
a reputation that makes it an obvious suspect in the Matawan Creek attacks.

White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias) -- since the infamous series of attacks seemed to stop with the capture of a young White Shark, reportedly with human remains in its stomach, it was widely assumed this animal was the culprit; other researchers are not so sure.
