The CBC is currently reporting that two Great White Sharks have been spotted off the Coast of Canada, displaying new, and potentially troublesome behaviour. The two sharks have been lurking around off the coast of Nova Scotia for some time, and scientists have been tracking them after they were tagged for research. It seems the sharks have realized how many seals exist around Sable Island and have decided to make it their new vacay spot, as they spent much of last summer in the region.

My reply is “don’t fear sharks, fear for them.” Sharks have been on this planet for more 400 million years, surviving 5 mass extinction on this planet, evolutionary perfection, yet in the last 30 years humans have wiped out sharks populations by 90 to 95 percent. Sharks may not survive us. Tag your friends 👇 - Turn on post notifications. Due to recent changes, Instagram is not showing all posts to our followers.

The first shark is a female that was tagged in Cape Cod and the second was a male that was tagged last summer near Port Mouton, Nova Scotia. And according to the CBC, the male is actually the first ever Great White Shark to be tagged in Canada.

The smart sharks have been seen moving around the Sable Island area, sticking close to the surface of the water to catch seals and searching nearby areas for other prey. The CBC notes that the sharks have been "ranging progressively farther and habitually returning to the same locations," and that tuna fishermen in the area have reported sightings of the Great Whites. In addition to these two Great Whites who spent last summer in Nova Scotia, there were four other Great Whites that came to Nova Scotia after being tagged in Cape Cod. While Great Whites can bring to mind Jaws, these predators are obviously looking for seals and not humans. And four Great Whites being spotted here is nothing compared to the hundreds of tagged sharks that roam around Cape Cod on a regular basis. So, we have that reassurance at least. Source
