A shark IS a fish.
“Dozens” means at least 24,
which I highly doubt there are 24 species of shark in our waters.
According to the Shark Research Committee there have been 34 species of sharks recorded off of the Pacific Coast of North America with 26 different species known or strongly suspected of attacking humans. Almost all were between central and Baja CA with the most attacks, 154 out of 180 since 1900 off the CA coast and 13 fatalities here in the last 60 years here all suspected or known to be from Great Whites.
See?..I was WAY off!
thnx for correcting me.
Time to walk on the pier and view from afar.
We are going to need a bigger boat !
How do you figure it’s a great white? Not unlikely, just wondering if this is a speculation or an actual id
OMG! It’s a fish. Or is it seaweed? No! It’s a shark. A great white, not one of the dozens of other sharks that live around here. If it is identified as a great white, why are there not beach warning signs? Or announcements on any of the local media? Waiting for updates,
Of course it’s speculation. This is Edhat not the NYT.
I have some Thresher Shark in the freezer that will serve as dinner tonight. Must keep my place on the food chain.
There are several 11 foot Macko sharks that have been tagged and tracked in our area recently. Could be one of them. They are named Conderella, Rose and Riley but I don’t think they answer to their names.
actually there are about 26 species off California and about 12-15 in our local waters. Shark doesn’t mean they are all makos, threshers, whites. We have Blues, shovel nose, hammerheads, swell sharks, leopard sharks, horn, 7 gill, angel, sand, nurse, soupfin or school shark, whale and basking, spiney dogfish, grey smoothhound, brown smoothound, pacific small tail…etc…so yeah..there’s a lot more than you think. I fish and sail and have been in our waters for over 4 decades….there’s a lot of them out there. Here’s a fact…more people die by dog attacks than shark attacks…think about it….
Have you read the NYT (or the LA Times) lately? EdHat is probably more accurate…:-(
Your time will come.
