No. Jaws isn't true. phewf!!!!

AnswerYes. The largest Great White shark caught and killed was 27-foot from nose to tail, a little bit bigger than Jaws. The Basking Shark and Whale Shark are larger but they feed only on plankton and are generally not a threat to humans. The prehistoric Megaladon Shark was about 50-foot, approximately the same size as a Whale Shark, and it was predatory. They are believed to be extinct.....but who knows?

Was the shark in jaws mutated?

In "Jaws," the shark is not explicitly described as mutated; it is portrayed as a large, aggressive great white shark that poses a threat to the fictional town of Amity Island. The film focuses on the shark's predatory behavior rather than any genetic anomalies. However, the idea of mutated creatures has been a recurring theme in other media, especially in contexts involving environmental disasters or scientific experimentation. In "Jaws," the shark's size and aggressiveness serve more as a narrative device than a commentary on mutation.


What is the difference between the Jaws shark and real sharks?

No, they used mechanical sharks. The only real shark footage is in the scene where Matt Hooper is in the underwater shark cage. That was filmed with a real great white shark, and a midget or dwarf stunt actor in a miniature cage, to make the shark look bigger.


What is the size of the shark in the film jaws?

According to Quint in the movie, the shark was 25 feet long and weighed 3 tons. Of course, that was only his estimation as the shark didn't survive long enough to be measured and weighed as a whole.


In jaws how did they know it was a shark?

Remember that Hooper the marine biologist did the autopsy. The bite marks / lacerations (how the flesh is carved) are indicative of what type of shark, including a suggestion of size. Amazing thing is that Jaws is only 3.5 feet longer than the largest Great Whites ever caught. (Jaws = 25', largest captured GW's approach 22') So while it appears to be ridiculously/impossibly large, id say that there have been 25 foot GW's out there. FUN FACT: They have attached sat nav trackers to GW's and some swim around Perth (western australia) before going non stop, amazingly fast, to Africa. Some dive down to over 1km in depth.


What is the jaw size of a REGULAR shark?

There are many different sharks, but I do not know which could be called, "Regular". But, assuming that you are asking about the shark jaw of a fish, and not the mechanical tool called a, "Shark jaw", the common range is from 2 inches to 15 inches, in my opinion. (There are lots of foot-long sharks in people's aquariums, and of course, in the ocean; hence, the 2" size) Of course, the jaw of, say, a great white shark can be significantly larger, while the largest shark jaw known (a fossilized shark) is over 12 feet in size, fully opened. If you want to own this monster jaw, you can buy it for around $500 million, as I understand it.
