How did they make the shark in the movie “Jaws?”?

Question by Guitar Splash: How did they make the shark in the movie “Jaws?”?
How did they make the shark in the movie “Jaws?” Is there a site that shows the process or something? I’m doing a report on the movie also, so if you could tell me how they made the shark and also what is your opinion on the movie, and what you would rate it out of 5 stars!!! But what I need most is how they made it. Thanks 🙂

its a robot. In fact “James” or one of the vairents they used in the movies still is in a small pool (used to be a pond) at Universal Studios in California.

They used this for all shots of the shark including its closeups when attacking.
