The art of chumming
Some of you may know this boat. I think they got a scientific exemption to be able to do this. Would Mundus have cared?

The picture was taken off the Cape by a spotter pilot named Wayne Davis. One of the guys on the boat is white shark biologist Greg Skomal. They were working together trying to stick one of the sharks with a fancy archival tag in order to track it.

I think Wayne was probably hired to spot the Whites for them to stick, orw as in the area spotting GBFT for the stick boats....
We saw him off the Edge this year spotting Whale Sharks so some guy could swim with it...

Is the whale dead so the GW is feeding on the whale? If so highly likely.

 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Since GW's prefer food that is rich in blubber, and since most apex predators will scavenge when the opportunity presents itself, it is not only "likely" to happen, but is pretty much a sure thing when food of this magnitude is available.
Like crows that can spot roadkill, vultures that can smell carrion for miles, the GW can "taste" blubber from dead sea mammals just like a massive chum slick.
On the west coast a dead whale is a prime opportunity to get "up-close and personal" with the sharks. The reason is that the sharks will be preoccupied with feeding, and pay less attention to the researchers, and some sharks will feed to the point they become lethargic (like a post-thanksgining turkey-coma).

if that's a dead whale and the shark is feeding on it, the aroma must be FANTASTIC.

Boy that video. A shark can go a long time without eating. But when it can eat it eats.
