Isn't it a tad bit cold for Great Whites in that part of Pacific? I thought that White sharks were mainly found in southern latitudes - around Australia, South Africa, etc. What the heck is a great white shark doing in Puget Sound?

On second reading, it does say they are found "world wide in temperate seas". Though I've never heard of one so far north.

Good question! We don't have great white sharks!

I thought they came as far north as San Francisco!

I thought that White sharks were mainly found in southern latitudes - around Australia, South Africa, etc. What the heck is a great white shark doing in Puget Sound? There's an El Nino phenomenom occuring right now. The warming of the waters off the west coast of South America may be affecting waters as far north as Washington and Canada. This may have caused this event to happen.

That's what the mayor of Amity wants you to think...

I actually read that the waters off the coast of Washington State are pretty much the same as the waters off the coast of San Francisco when it comes to temperature. But we have the Orca Whale which is the Great White Shark’s only known predator.
