Is the Shark Apocalypse taking a horrifying turn?
And 2020 has taken a nasty down turn as it relates to our ongoing Shark Apocalypse. The one where the vicious, unrepentant apex predators heed neither good manners nor shark repellant technology in order to eat men at a near record clip. The one where they flash their sharp teeth with reckless abandon from California to Australia, America’s eastern seaboard to Réunion Island.
Oh it is a scary time to dare venture into ocean waters, positively terrifying, and all hope is near lost. Near lost and possibly nearer with today’s troubling developments that marine biologists have discovered hovering off the coast of North Carolina. For it is there that a massive Great White named “Shaw” has displayed perplexing behavior, refusing to migrate south to warmer waters as is the norm.
But why?
The very latest suggests Shaw is a sissy mama’s boy refusing to leave his nursery and let us go straight to The Charlotte Observer for more.
A 10-foot-3-inch great white shark is entering its third month of mysteriously pacing up and down the same stretch of coast off Virginia and North Carolina, and experts now have a theory.
OCEARCH began tracking the 564-pound apex predator’s strange coastal fixation in December, and the shark, named Shaw, was still there Monday. Shaw showed up on satellite at 4:13 a.m. off Cape Hatteras on the Outer Banks, tracking shows.
The nonprofit research agency believes this odd behavior may come down to a matter of ocean temperature, specifically a spot off Cape Hatteras known as the “faunal break.”
“White sharks usually cross it easily and spend the cooler months south of the break, but Shaw has been flirting with the line for over a month now.”
Other white sharks tagged by the nonprofit have “breezed past” the barrier, so OCEARCH isn’t sure why Shaw is so reluctant.
Some data collected by OCEARCH has suggested young sharks prefer to stay close to their nursery in the first two years of life. But Shaw is categorized as a “sub-adult,” not a juvenile, according to data collected Oct. 1, when he was tagged off Lunenburg, Nova Scotia.
The socially unaware among us may be inclined to mock Shaw and even bully him, calling him names etc. but we students of uncomfortable behaviors know that many, if not most, serial killers have mother issues. That they were either too coddled, or entirely neglected, maternally.
Might Shaw be preparing to serially kill due some over-infatuation with mommy?
Like Norman Bates in Psycho?

Maybe Shaw identifies as a bed of kelp…..
You are viewing a brand new episode of “I bet you can never guess the rest of this headline.”
that was the least fascinating and most stupid article about a shark i have ever read.
As opposed to all the other sharp-toothed psychopathic killing machines who are emotionally stable?
Trump announced there are 52 shark sites of importance to great whites that will be hit if this shark attacks American assets or American lives, including culturally important shark locations.
Hit em with fish sanctions, that’ll hurt the godless bastards!
Beta Shark Doot Doot Doot
Beta shark
This size GW feeds exclusively on fish. The reason these small sharks linger off of the east coast this time of year is to catch migrating fish not idiots who want to hang out in the surf all day. Articles like these are causing senseless murder of baby GW sharks. Surfers are being jerks because of these articles. They shouldn’t be published.
Migrating penis fish?
This would explain the sissy traits?
Idiots! I’m bloody offended. Surfers don’t kill GW’s you name caller. It’s a well known fact that shark preservationistas cause more harm to the big fish than any other sub genre of scientists. Pulling them outta the water, whacking tags in their flesh (“for research”) while eating shark fin soup and caviar for supper.
And because you people have zero soh, yes this is sarcasm.
Back to high horse/leather couch now!
This article is pure nonsense & garbage CV
Surfers need to fight back at these devil creatures
Plus enjoy a hearty healthy meal

You’re an idiot for propegating fear and hatred of what is a beautiful creature in its own environment…’shark apocalypse’ indeed… 😒
shark attacks are generally pretty rare last I checked… this is the first and last time i ever click an article from this author.
Dude trying to scare people from beaches.. Sharks are amazing creatures and are just living there life in there home…..noone is the same just like sharks…..that spot must be his home and he is sticking to his grounds….thats his territory…
thank you, someone said what was on my mind. The fact that there is a “shark apocalypse” is a miracle. What’s really scary is what we would do without these incredible creatures. We need them, they are a huge role in the food chain and we are driving then to extinction. Without them, we are just quickening the pace to the destruction of our planet. I did a whole project on how the loss of sharks will affect our environment to present to my Member of Parliament and let’s just say, it’s not pretty.
Who is that man of a man in the photo that’s wrangling ole whitey by the tail!!??!
Definitely not Scomo. We must find out
Interesting read.
He is a Virginia Beach local making his regular run down to Hatteras to score some waves.
are all these shark articles a subconsious ploy to keep other surfers out of the water?
line ups been a lil crowded?
Apex predator doesn’t do things by accident. It’s a trap!
When does Shark Grit launch?
I just realized I’ll be reading so many shark articles until surfing starts again in april… or I guess so many more than I already do…
Think this was the stunt double for those vegetarian sharks in Finding Nemo.
What’s in a name?
SHAW
