America's First Shark Attacks: Jersey Shore 1916



SHARKS, particularly GREAT WHITES, are widely thought of today as man-eaters akin to movie monsters– but how and why did these animals gain their infamy? The origins of America’s shark fear lie in the shallow waters of New Jersey’s coast, dating back to the bloodstained and panicked summer of 1916 when sharks struck terror into the public consciousness for the first time.

  1. These are likely all BULLSHARK attacks, yea?
    (Not the White-Pointers in cinema, which typically hunt in the open OCEAN, striking quickly from deep below, & are too big to be able to exist in a shallow beach).

    14:30 edit: Ah there we go.

  2. Hey i wonder is there a deep sea creature that looks like a blue sphere? I'm asking because i remembered i watched a video containing that same creature i tried to but i couldn't find the creature or the video also people who think i remembered it wrong i did remember it vividly and i know it was real but if you cant find it its fine

  3. Jaws was and is my favorite movie, inspiring me to learn more about these creatures. I would love to hear more historical information on creatures of the earth's waters. Thank you for all you do. Deep sea oddities is and forever will be my favorite channel.

  4. Se você medir quantos ataques de tubarão acontece e quantos tubarões são matados anualmente, não tem nem comparação. 1 ataque a cada 10 anos x milhões de espécies todos os meses, em troca as vezes de uma barbatana para fazer sopa. Isso é uma vergonha. Devemos ser responsáveis pela conservação desta espécie.
