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.

    One thing I learned from reading this is that this shark's mouth is huge.

                      Agreed. Sharks are rather friendly. If you are nice to them.
