Our friend Tom came by Saturday afternoon and told us he’d just found a baby Great White Shark down on the beach. He was pretty excited by it. “It’s like a pit bull,” he said. So yesterday just before sunset I went down and found it. By then it had been somewhat gutted by buzzards, but it was still an impressive little animal, a miniature version of one of the Pacific Ocean’s most powerful predators.
About Lloyd Kahn
