The Shark Growl

The Shark growl is thought to have originated in the movie Jaws The Revenge 1987. I first noted it in Shark Zone but it really became prominent for me with the rise and availability of the Chinese made for TV sharksploitation. Today it seems compulsory in most low to mid budget productions. So for all the trope spotters out there.
