Shark in the Ohio.

yea this doesn't surprise me at all. with evidence showing they had went as far as st. louis, it is only a matter of time until someone gets attacked by one in our area. thankfully this one was dead. but i guess it will add a unique fishing element to the river??? LOL. along with those 2 headed fish....

Bull sharks don't attack...and just because there are any type of shark in the Mississippi River drainage doesn't mean they will attack people.

Bull Sharks do attack... They are one of the more agressive species of sharks. They have killed people all over the world, Australia, USA, Africa, etc...

However, from what I read on this story...this wasn't a bull shark, but some other shark that was dumped off a boat that came from the gulf...so swim away!

yea that is completely wrong. and it doesn't mean they will attack, but the more meetings between humans and a bull shark in the ohio would only increase the probability of it. it WOULD happen, its simple math. but the fact that the shark was dead on a ramp, and its appearance, tells me that it wasn't a bull shark...but i don't know how a shark gets into the ohio otherwise?
