We tell people all the time they're in much greater danger driving to the beach than they are once they get to the beach, jumping in the water, being attacked by a shark.

It's pretty exciting. It's a beautiful animal, an apex predator that's part of the ecosystem.

We're pretty much convinced it's not a rogue shark or a shark out there -- one shark that's doing all the damage.

We still don't know why they come out here. It might have something to do with reproduction.

They meander through the islands. For what purpose we don't know. We suspect it may be something to do with reproduction.

It is sort of unusual that in the middle of the day the shark came in so close to shore.

When you look at the number of shark attacks we have, it's extremely small.
