White Shark on the Cape?

[PeaceDog]

Anyone know anything about this? I'd like to find out some more info on a more specific location where they've been seeing it. WOUldn't mind getting a few minutes of footage.

is to LEAVE it alone. They are protected and don't need to be harrassed.

While I appreciate your Cousteau attitude, I'd still like to get it on video if possible. But I won't go out of my way to do it.

Some people take the actual animals from the sea, I just take images.

Sorry the area has been closed to boats and people. You won't get within a mile of the little lady. Maybe you could try Hathaway Pond? (Sorry I couldn't resist.)

Not to speak ill of the dead, but Cousteau and his boys were known to harrass a few sea creatures in the early days in order to get some good footage for the show. Of course, that info didn't come out until after his death. I loved that show as a kid.

I'm no marine biologist, but the shark is probably sick and will turn up dead somewhere pretty soon. It seems to be acting out of character for a Great White. Hopefully, it's fine and will leave on its own accord.

How come there are a lot of Great White sharks in California, but not here? We have yummy seals here too, right?

Not that I'm sad about it.

Dude, that was actually really funny.

I may just have to grab some rubber sharks and head to Hathways and place them conveniently within the scope of my housing lens. Sounds like it's the closest any of us are going to come to a white shark on the cape.

Glad to see someone was able to sex the shark. There was speculation earlier as to what gender it was. Means at least someone got close....

Yeah the guy that tagged the shark was talking about how exciting it was to be near the shark. He also said how he hoped no one would go near it or "bother" it. I love how somehow he believes he has more right to go near the animal than the rest of the common folk.
