After reading this article, it's now clear the Jaws producers didn't do their research before sending this box office thriller to the big screen. Just because the Great white was over 25 feet and three tons, it doesn't mean the shark could smell Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider's fear on the Orca before eating one third of the crew, and half the boat.
Good read...

Jaws ate only a third of the crew (pictured) and sunk the boat. Sharks and beavers are different. Otherwise interesting article.
