Default Random Wednesday Question (Jaws)

In Jaws (the film) when Hooper goes diving under the half sunken boat, why would a head come out the hole?

The shark couldn't have eaten the rest of the bloke through such a small hole. Was it ever explained what happened?

Odd question i know, but we have been discussing it at work, and can't think of a proper answer.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks shark fans!!!

yep seem a bit of a plot "hole" excuse the pun

but Quint did get eaten of the back of a half sunken boat at the end of the film, so maybe the same fate happened to him -- just that the shark left the head

Have you never eaten anything you didn't like the look of

Although the head afterwards is usually the best bit

Maybe Jaws put it there so he could come back later for a tasty snack. Just like squirrels with nuts

After he had a little nibble, maybe the shark decided he didn't like the taste?

That's a good question - how come a barely sentient carnivorous fish with a two-foot bite radius didn't nibble out those two little grapes? Perhaps it was searching its pockets and it couldn't find a cocktail stick.
