Man Saves Baby Great White Shark in LA
A heart-warming video here of a baby great white shark, beached off Venice Beach Pier and with a hook in its mouth, saved by a lifeguard known locally as ‘the animal-whisperer’. Very cool indeed. And great to see that people are really starting to show they care about sharks.

Great Whites Bring Tourists to Cape Cod
We’ve come a long way since 1975, when Chief Brody (AKA Roy Scheider), Steven Spielberg and the boys in JAWS started a trend off New England that led to a world-wide paranoia (and ultimately billions of sharks being killed).

Canadian Sharks in the News

Several years back, researchers were surprised to find a ‘hot-spot’ of over 10,000 sharks off the Queen Charlottes. According to researchers, many of the sharks were blue sharks, and over 28 different species of [...]

Kayaks and Shark Porn
First the good news. A kayaker and some fishermen encountered a huge great white shark in Australia and got some cool video. Now the bad news. This is shark porn folks, and it’s why people are killing upwards of 100 million sharks each year.
