No mistaking the identification of this shark. Spotted 50 feet from Jesse yesterday who promptly got the heck out of the water. It was maybe seven feet long. Only attributed with 28 recorded "unprovoked" attacks in the last 450 years with no deaths. Its like a little ocean teddy bear, although its responsible for 16% of all shark attacks in Florida, often striking surfers. Is it provoked if you look like a delicious Hawaiian Monk Seal?
