The chilly by no means bothered them anyway.
Because the ocean temps fall, some white sharks are nonetheless being noticed off Cape Cod’s shoreline as they hunt for seals.
One of many apex predators was not too long ago seen attacking a seal off Orleans.
“Even in November, white sharks are still active off the Outer Cape,” the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy posted.
“This sighting from Marconi Beach yesterday is a good reminder that sharks can be close to shore well into the fall season,” the conservancy added. “If you’re heading into the water, stay shark smart and follow safety tips.”
In the meantime, an awesome white shark that Cape researchers tagged six years in the past was not too long ago discovered lifeless.
“We’re saddened to share that white shark ‘Danny’ was recently found deceased in Canada,” the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy posted.
Danny was first recognized in 2014 after which tagged by shark researcher Greg Skomal — working with the AWSC analysis group — in 2019 off Cape Cod.
The 11-foot male shark had greater than 10,000 detections on the conservancy’s logbook as of final 12 months.

“Over the past six years, his acoustic tag has provided invaluable data, helping scientists better understand white shark movements and behavior throughout the Northwest Atlantic,” the conservancy posted.
Traditionally, Danny was detected on the Cape Cod receiver array, with detections incessantly alongside the Outer Cape.
He was additionally detected on acoustic receivers off Nantucket, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Georgia, Cape Canaveral, off the Chesapeake, North Carolina, Maine, Nova Scotia, and within the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.
“A team in Canada has conducted a necropsy to help determine Danny’s cause of death, and samples have been collected to further our understanding of the species,” the conservancy wrote. “The knowledge gained from Danny’s life and the data he provided will continue to shape the future of white shark conservation.”
Shark researchers additionally not too long ago went on a shark tag scavenger hunt.
The scientists had been in a position to retrieve a tag that was deployed on a white shark in Cape Cod Bay this August. The tag launched and washed up on Sunken Meadow Seashore on Lengthy Island.
With the assistance of Laura Mcdonnell, a postdoctoral researcher at Woods Gap Oceanographic Institute, the researchers not too long ago situated and uncovered the tag.
“It was buried under roughly 3 feet of sand!” the conservancy posted. “We are looking forward to analyzing the data that the tag recorded before it was released.”
