BOSTON — Hundreds of great white sharks hunting seals close to shore along Cape Cod, and how local researchers are hoping to predict shark behavior, is the focus of a new National Geographic special for Sharkfest next week.
The documentary "Return of the White Shark" includes “really rare footage” of three great whites feasting on a seal, and an apex predator attacking a seal in the surf zone.
The Cape shark researchers in the show also revealed how many sharks have visited the region in a recent 5-year period, which is much higher than expected.
