Fun Fact: Great Whites love colder water

Well some other man-eating sharks prefer warmer water.

Sharks are awesome. They only bite people by accident.

The shark attacks are usually sand sharks...who don't mind the warmer water.

The seal population was decimated due to bounty hunting which was an attempt to protect the fishing industry. Seals became protected and the population rebounded. More seals = more shark food.

Shark tracking has become a lot more sophisticated. Sharks are tagged, there are more pingers to detect them, and visual sightings can be reported.

And, yes, sharks, along with their prey, like colder water.

This concludes my nerd talk.

So fascinating!

I thought it was interesting, and I also think you're an a$$.

Okay, so if anyone has a good attention span, this is a FANTASTIC article.

After the bite on Max is a good doc on Cape Cod and how the community reacted after a shark fatality.

I am on Cape Cod and yes, there is a lot of shark coverage here. But it's not clear there is more activity here than in other places - it's just tracked better. There was a fatality in 2018, but I don't think there has been an attack since then. Florida has the highest number of shark attacks - there were 16 in 2022. There were 5 attacks just last month in New York. There was a fatality in Maine last year. So definitely up and down the East Coast.

Team Sharks. Maybe they can get together with the Orcas.

Maybe they can join together to eat all of the climate-change-denying, covid-denying idiots. Give humanity’s IQ a boost.

Covid made a nice dent in those types. Maybe this can, too.
