[Clearly she hasn't fully adjusted yet. Clearly she needs to get her head out of the usual place--a lab full of marine biologists and other prospective grad students--and into the world where people think about things that aren't marine life. The world where Jaws is a legitimate reference for shark knowledge and years haven't been dedicated to memorizing the full taxonomic ranks of dozens of species.]
...well.
[It's not unlike watching a computer reboot, the way she wrinkles her nose and gives her head a slight shake. There's much more of a smile in place once that's done.]
The one in Jaws is a great white shark. I guess they're-- "regular," although they tend to be rather on the big side as sharks go. And-- a megalodon is an extinct shark which was-- a lot like a great white, really, but-- way, way bigger. Like bigger than the modern whale-shark bigger. Conservative estimates say they were usually a bit more than 16 meters long, but there are some theories they could have gotten up to nearly 30 meters.
[Giant sharks are fun things for everyone, right? This is a relate-able topic, yes?]
