Basking sharks are making a comeback in Southern California waters (Credit: Greg Skomal / NOAA Fisheries Service / Public Domain)

Since late March 2019, local fishers and sightseers on whale watching excursions along the Southern California Coast have been treated to a rare sight — dozens of school bus-sized basking sharks lumbering through the water. This is the first time the "gentle giants of the sea" have frequented the area in such large numbers in over thirty years.

        No offense I luv sharks in all but it looks like a rib cage and I’m never gonna go swimming with one of those around. (It’s big mouth would be happy to have a little meal like me)

          The basking shark is the second biggest and it is seen again in several decades.
