Jeff Weakley was bitten by an unidentified shark while surfing in the waters off Flagler Beach in 1994.

Newsweek

"The Naylor Lab [at the University of Florida] has spent around 20 years sampling, sequencing, and maintaining the databases, which contain reference DNA sequence data for about 70 percent of all known sharks, skates, rays, and chimeras in the world," he said. "It was a mystery waiting for us to uncover," Yang said in a statement."If I was bitten by a shark, I would want to know what it was."

"I've been lucky to have not been bitten by a dog, but I would regard that interaction I had with that shark as being no different or more destructive than a dog bite," Weakley said."I certainly don't have a hatred of sharks or any feeling of vindictiveness toward them. They're part of our natural world."
