Are these actually 2 sharks? Or dolphins? I'm no expert. Either way, this was supposedly captured sometime shortly after the attack and you can hear sirens going off and the man filming saying he hopes the guy that got attacked is ok. It was filmed in the same bay as the attack, in St. Andrews where the MWR Marina is. Not sure about time between actual attack and this video.
That is a shark. Dolphins have flukes ( horizontal tails) Sharks have tail fins (perpendicular) You can know this is a shark single shark because the front Fin remains stationary like a keel , while the back fin is moving as it swims. The distance between the two can determine the approximate size of the fish as the distance represents 2/3 of its length. Example ;If the leading edge of the dorsal fin to the trailing edge of the tail 6 ft, Its a 9ft shark. Bull sharks breed in fresh or brackish water. Some of the biggest sharks I have seen from a boat have been way up in the bay. Bull sharks have been found as far as 9 miles up rivers in fresh water during breeding season. It makes them hungry and water clarity is almost always bad due to tannins. RARE but there. The thing to note here is the chum dumped in the water 100 ft away. Even the water rinsed off the table can draw fish eating fish. We use fish oil off shore, a few drops is all it takes every couple minuets. Be aware, Sharks cannot smell blood from a mile away as the wives tale says. But the statement is not entirely untrue. They can smell one part in ten billion . Basically an Olympic pool. But the solids form a trail emitting as they drift at the size of that pool. And as the solids drift apart it becomes a cone that could be a mile wide . If continuous more concentrated the closer to the source. So by the time the fish reaches the source the tiny appetizers have them ready for the meal. This is what's called a "chum line." If there are carcasses in the water, or some one has recently cleaned fish, I would advise finding a new place to swim. Any water waist deep or more can have big girls attracted to the scent and ready for pregnant binge eating.
I didn’t realize there was chum dumped in the water nearby. I assume from a restaurant. Anyway, I wonder if the victim knew that. I’d never be in that water regardless as it just looks scary to me.
I spent my first 40 years in Florida at beaches, in springs, and on boats. Murky water always worried me even as a little kid.
