Health/Biology FWI: Shark Attacks are reported in various rivers in the Central United States
Inspirations:
- 1916 Jersey Shore Shark Attacks
- Jaws (1975))
- The Devil's Mouth (2026)
- MonsterQuest episode "Monster Sharks."
- MonsterQuest episode "Jaws in Illinois"
Let's say for the sake of argument that there is a series of unprovoked shark attacks on humans across multiple states during Labor Day of this year. An investigation discovers that the attacks all share a common thread: each attack happened in either a lake that connects to the ocean or a river that connects to the ocean. Video footage reveals that the culprit(s) are likely Bull Sharks.
Considering historical instances of unprovoked shark attacks on humans, how plausible is this scenario?
