It is pretty shitty for Discovery to sacrifice a senior lady just to hype Shark Week.

Great whites are designed for cooler waters. In fact they have a rather unique circulatory system that allows them to keep blood temps up in cold water. The thing is Maine doesn’t have a large seal/sea lion population so not much real food for great whites up that way.

Could have been traveling and hungry and decided to take a chomp out of a human.

She had a pre-existing condition. Really any shark would have taken her out.

Yes, interesting. One Mako shark has traveled from Massachusetts to Mexico.

Not usually. This is only the second great white attack in Maine, ever.

It's just one Covid death for now. The attacker has now contracted Covid and many more will die. SyFy writers are using these true events to write their next shark blockbuster Sharknado 8.

And yet, the band Great White has killed more people than the actual shark.

Such sharks can be found in local waters on the lookout for seals, which are common off the coast of Maine.
