A 15-foot great white shark was just caught on drone video gliding shockingly close to the Santa Monica Pier, and locals are buzzing. Photographer Carlos Gauna says he’s never seen an adult shark this size so near the shore in this area—usually, it’s just juveniles. What’s wild is how calm the shark seemed, even with people nearby. Gauna hopes his footage reminds everyone that while these ocean giants are around, attacks are incredibly rare. It’s a powerful look at how sharks and humans often share the same waters, mostly without incident. Would seeing this change how you feel about swimming here? #Science #SantaMonica #GreatWhiteShark
