BOSTON (CBS) – It’s no secret that the great white sharks return to Outer Cape Cod every summer to feast on the seals that live there and for years now, scientists have been tagging and tracking the sharks, to learn about their behavior.

Now, a consortium of scientists have compiled data that gave them some new insight into the sharks’ patterns. One aspect: the sharks come into very shallow water, and stay for a greater time than most people suspected.

This isn't the time of year that people are thinking about swimming in New England waters, but this recent video article has some input into the upcoming summer months.-Tom

Good. They can stay in Cape Cod.

Wow, Sharks live in water.

[ConservativeMind]

It seems the Kennedys got them trained after Mary Jo’s body was left to taunt them.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Why do they do this?

It’s where the chum is. And the pretty girls, too!

“the sharks come into very shallow water, and stay for a greater time than most people suspected.”

Apparently, they don’t have anything better to do and they’re not looking for anything deep and meaningful, just some people-watching and casual dining.

I’ve often wondered if Provincetown attracted sharks like Sodom attracted Brimstone

There’s just so much we can learn from sharks.

Their work on Faster Than Light travel is amazing.

Still a tad chilly. Nah nump.....nah nump!

They would never attack lawyers, Professional Courtesy.

When asked why, one replied, “Wull...That’s whar th’swimmers are!”

[dainbramaged]

You go in the cage, cage goes in the water, you go in the water. Shark's in the water, our shark.
Farewell and adieu........

Wow, Sharks live in water.

Yes, and snakes live in Washington D.C.

Why bother with the media?

The WHAT theater should conduct more transgender research sit ins. That will cut down on any rational thinking and everyone can go back to their false idols.

[ClearCase_guy]

We’re all gonna die.

[Capt. Tom]

Good. They can stay in Cape Cod.

Unfortunately for swimmers and bathers they will spread throughout New England.

Maine is putting out about 20 shark detection buoys this coming year, after they had a fatal attack on a swimmer up there last summer, and I figure they will discover they have more white sharks than they anticipated.

Also this coming 2021 summer season about dozen shark associations are getting into the white shark action here in New England, so I expect a lot of white shark info to come out. Time will tell. -Tom

Seals are smart. Wait till they figure out that they can hide amongst the swimmers. -Cheers

Need an electric fence....................

Maybe it’s because there are things in the deep water that eats sharks.
