Shark attacks in landlocked states? Yes, there have been shark bites in Kentucky, Missouri and New Mexico

Colorado Governor Jared Polis shared a fun fact on Twitter last week: "Colorado is tied for state with the least shark attacks!" While that might seem quite obvious for a landlocked state, the graphic Polis shared raised eyebrows. The shark attack map showed other landlocked states – including New Mexico, Missouri and Kentucky – did have at least one shark attack.

Polis' tweet gained more attention for what he didn't say. Of course Colorado has had no shark attacks – but what happened in the other states? "I have questions," one Twitter user replied.

"Uhm, I'm kinda confused about New Mexico, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania. Where, exactly, are people being attacked by sharks in those states?" another wrote.
