Cape Cod – Third Year of Great White Shark Attacks on Seals in a Row?
Late July and August has become unofficial Great White Shark season off Cape Cod. Looks like it’s starting again. The Beast just received this email:
Dear Sirs
I saw your report on the probable shark attack off Chatham Beach last year, well this year, in fact this afternoon a seal carcass with a huge bite taken out of it’s flank was washed up on the beach. According to the Beach Patrol officer it is highly likely that this was another shark attack and it was noticeable that not only was there a launch patrolling the estuary but also a beach warden scanning the waters with powerful binoculars. It seems we are not the only ones enjoying the warm water!
Quite daunting stuff as I was swimming round the channel buoy last night!
This hasn’t made the news yet. Looking for more details and a pic if possible. Meanwhile, you readers can keep cool with this roundup of White Shark attacks off the Cape from last year at this time:
