Some think that the 1916 attacks were made by a bull shark, not a great white. Bull sharks are more likely to go up estuaries like the brackish river where three of the attacks occured.

I'm not too sure that the expert was correct in diagnosing this attack as a great white. There are more mako sharks around here than whites and I believe that their bites are somewhat similar.

It's possible that it was a bull shark in the 1916 New Jersey attacks. Have you read of the latest shark attack on the New Jersey coastline? They're calling it a great white shark attack but it might have been a sandbar shark. Great white shark likely chomped on N.J. surfer .
