CHATHAM – If you weren’t one of the Outer Cape beach-goers who caught a glimpse of a shark munching on a seal last weekend, you may have missed your chance to see the beast feast.

The shark seen off North Beach in Chatham Saturday night was likely a great white, state shark expert Greg Skomal concluded after examining the seal carcass and talking to witnesses, said Lisa Capone, spokeswoman for the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs.

It’s rare, but not unheard of, to see great whites in the area, Capone said.

“Maybe two times a year they see carcasses that have this signature look of a great white shark attack,” she said.

That is good news for nervous swimmers – and bad news for shark enthusiasts. The sharks don’t travel in groups, and once a great white feeds, it won’t eat again for weeks, Capone said.

Show’s over. Go back to your beach blanket.






So, they admit it is a white.. what happened to the tiget theory they spewed yesterday?

And all's well folks, back on the beach.

Like my son said tho.. why they (Town Hall) worried?.. beach was closed for 39 days for two birds and they didn't care then.. why should they care if people stay away for sharks?

'good news for nervous swimmers" thats too funny, these bozos think it's the only one out there?
