Great white shark larvae are “hanging” near beaches in Southern California, but are not necessarily interested in humans, according to researchers in a study published in June.
A group of researchers from California State University Long Beach and the University of Minnesota published the study in June. One of their findings is that great white shark larvae tend to spend more time along the coastal beaches of Southern California. There are few predators.
“They also use relatively small areas along coastal beaches that spend days to months in these nursery habitats, where the water temperature is high, the species of prey are abundant, and there are few larger predators. To form a loose aggregate, “says the study.
James Anderson, one of the authors of the study, told Fox News that sharks are stretching “a tiny amount” of energy when they are near the coast.

“One of the things we’re trying to convey in this paper is how lethargic these sharks are when they live and hang out at these beach locations in Southern California. As much as possible, I pay little attention to the people around me. “
Early in the morning, near sunset, Anderson says sharks are more likely to be active and chasing prey.

But Anderson said beachers shouldn’t pay too much attention to the findings.
“These animals are usually just cruising during the day and not paying attention to your body. It’s not a big threat to me,” Anderson said. “So I always say it’s better to know these things than not to know them. Do they say they need to worry? No, you need to worry No, and evidence and statistics show this. “
