Any update on the guess if species of shark? I am assuming bull but supposedly one attack was done by a larger shark and a Tiger is suspected?

Yo forgot Dolphins on the mammal end.

But Orcas in the Gulf.....that's a rare sight. I had heard there was a pod sighted not too far off of Destin.

Here’s another update on Lulu Gribbin, the teenage girl bitten by the shark. It also includes the story from her twin sister who was with her at the time. Unfortunately, it’s a Facebook link. I would copy and paste the post but it’s way too long to fit into one post on here.

Pretty incredible display of bravery from her twin sister, Ellie, during all of that.

Whale sharks and basking sharks have also been filmed off the panhandle.

I was told a bull shark by family friend of one of the Mtn Brook girls but who knows if that’s accurate.

Not sure how to link a FB post, but Spann just posted a very encouraging update including an image of the brave young lady in rehab.

She's smiling. I'm smiling. Tears are flowing...

White tailed deer probably cause more injuries and deaths than all of those combined

And you forgot coral snakes and copperheads
