One or more sharks?


Hi there.
Im just curious whether or not I should assume, that the kills were done by only one shark or more.
Because if Im correct, that would mean killing 3 people in some 48 hours (cant remember if that is acurate as Ive seen the movie quite some time ago)?
I am no shark expert, but I still think its a bit too much for one shark.
Correct me if Im wrong though.

Considering there are plenty of sharks around, its possible there was more than just one, the first one would be full for a few days so there would be no need to eat the others.

ONE very big shark!

Sharks are known to eat at least 1/3 of their body weight per feeding. Considering it at the one guy the one day, and the next day it ate the girl and still went after the last guy, yes, it was within reason for a feeding considering its size.

As for the topic of whether it was one or more sharks, there's no telling really. Sharks are known to be territorial and have hunting waters, so maybe when it got hungry again it went back and found them again. Or it could have been a completely different one. After all, how would Luke really know?
