Coyotes have been known to attack and kill seals that have beached themselves to rest. |

I'd be willing to bet that was a basking shark. They're pretty common there at that time of year. I have a picture of one about 75 yards from shore taken in the morning on August 30th, 3 years ago in the same location. People didn't even get out of the water. |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

As kids in Marshfield, we used to swim out to the basking sharks on surfboards. The lifeguards would have a fit.
Nowadays I wouldn't... might not be a basking shark. |
