They provide regular updates on Mary Lee’s travels on the local news in Norfolk. When I first heard about the attack, I thought about Mary Lee, but she’s rather large and I think that large dorsal fin sticking out of the water would have sent folks scurrying.

However, it turns out that Mary Lee was off the NC coast yesterday, but well out to sea:

Another tagged specimen, a Tiger Shark named Chessie, was much closer to the coast yesterday.

I’m guessing a bull shark was probably responsible for the North Carolina attacks.

I’m guessing it was a Great White Shark or a Megalodon. Either one would attract more clicks than a Bull Shark, so I expect the media to go with my panicky guess rather than a mere informed opinion.

You're probably right about the bull shark. Most aggressive shark, I think. Could be Tiger or Mako, too.. I think they'll be able to identify from the bite impressions on the paddle board.
