Gavin Naylor, a marine biologist at the University of Florida who runs the International Shark Attack File (ISAF) at the Florida Museum of Natural History, agreed that it is highly unlikely that a school shark would attack a human, especially as people are too big to be confused for the shark's normal prey. They are mainly bottom feeders, dining on flatfish and sardines near the seafloor, but they will also target larger fish and squid in the open sea. The individuals caught by the fishers, including the one that ate Barría's arm, each measured around 5 feet (1.5 meters) long. School sharks are medium to large-size sharks found across the globe. It is "very very unlikely" that the shark killed Barría, he added.
"In my opinion, that's exactly what happened," Gregory Skomal, a marine biologist at Boston University and head of the shark program at Massachusetts Marine Fisheries, told Live Science in an email. The shark was caught by fishers near where Barría went missing.
