sleeping nurse sharks?

[Chaseh]

there are lots of 'myths' out there:

that's funny, the site seems to be trying to dispel myths, but adds more such as:

1. Jaws was a real killer, right?
Sort of. Although so-called rogue sharks are more myth than truth, Jaws was based on a true story. Over 100 years ago, sharks menaced the creek of Matawan near New York. When one was finally shot upstream, the remains of its five victims were found in its belly. It’s highly unusual though, as humans are low down on the menu for sharks, with fish and seals being their preferred take-away.

The story is based on truth but is incomplete. From what I understand no shark was ever caught or killed and recent discussions have focused on if it was truly a GW that was attacking or a random Bull.

most evidence points to a bull; lot's of dynamite was thrown into the river but no shark was ever found or killed. It was however the first time shark attacks were publicized like they are today.
