yes and no we can't be sure. there are many eyewitness reports all over such as the one that the deep sea diving team in the Marianna trench (the biggest trench in the world, which resides ion the Pacific Ocean) that they saw 2 sharks at least 100 ft long a piece and these were very experienced men who could tell species of marine animal like sharks and whales.
