Are sharks "exhibiting a sixth sense of something bad in the making?"
A cluster of Great White sharks, directly off of North Carolina, has grown more intense and mysterious over the last few weeks. Researchers and scientists first began noticing this convergence of “man-eating” beasts toward the end of January but the gathering was spread out across hundreds of miles. Now they are gathering together, bunched and close, off of Wilmington exactly like they are bunching by the hundreds, possibly thousands, off Aukland.
Researchers and scientists have tried to find a connection between the two towns, tried to discover what the apex predators are up to, but so far nothing and let us turn to the Raleigh News & Observer for booties on the ground coverage.
OCEARCH says the tagged sharks, ranging in size from 8 feet to nearly 13 feet, represent a tiny sampling of what is actually off the coast, meaning waters could be full of great white sharks.
Experts have not offered a clear explanation for what is happening off the Carolinas, though researchers believe the sharks could have been driven north by warmer weather in Florida.
The coast off the Carolinas is known as a shark foraging area, but the animals typically feed as they travel along the coast to the Gulf of Mexico.
Social media users have speculated on what might be causing the sharks to cluster. Ideas include the possibility that sharks are chasing a sudden wealth of food or following the noise of beach renourishment projects along the coast.
Some people have even wondered if the sharks are exhibiting a sixth sense of something bad in the making.
“Maybe the recent earthquakes in (Puerto Rico) and other Caribbean locations? They might just know what we don’t about the future,” posted Karen Lavigna.
“Sensing bad weather?” Jenifer Parker wrote.
Sensing bad weather? Earthquakes?
I don’t want to unduly panic the brave Tarheels but… the unique vinegar foundation of Carolina bbq sauce is known to pickle people up “nice n tasty” from the inside out, according to food critics and epicureans.
Might the Great Whites be collecting for a good ol’ fashioned fry?
If you tickle their bellies the sharks laugh so hard they lose all interest in eating you. That is the trick we use when surfing in the Red Triangle off the northern California coast.
THAT in of itself does NOT mean that the DEVIL does not live there! 🙂
If you MUST go into the water, then, be sure that your health plan is up to date! 🙂
Why is Twillsy going to your house??? 🙂
“Intense…Mysterious…..Baffling….. Panicking….!!!!!!!
Whew! Take a deep breath.
Oh yeah, they’re part of the deep state. Planning to take down the Trump Crime Family!
great white sharks are racist republicans so by nature they spend winters in the southern states… they are also big Trump supporters as they have very poor taste.
Word on the street is a great white was spotted feeding on an innocent baby seal in south SD. Stay safe out there! Apparently there was a lot of blood and more were on the way!
I can for a fact tell you what’s not happening off or on the coast of the Carolinas: any type of swell event. Flatter than the waterboard pictured above. Anyone reading this who has $ to invest in a wavepool, there’s a market of redneck VALs just waiting for you.
The problem with that technique is that the shark will tell them anything that he/she thinks they want to hear, a bunch of confused spluttered ramblings, rather than the life saving truth they seek. Better to rest it on rough hewn bamboo and beat it on the back with bamboo poles, then ask questions between the intermittent beatings.
It’s obviously a conference. The Northern and Southern Hemisphere GWS Bi-Annual Shindig. Where they all get together to discuss current technological progress and plan out the upcoming year’s patterns of attack.
“So, last year, we really focused on Florida, which was a great success everybody. Well done. The gradual emigration from South Africa has really fucked with their heads down there and the reduction in overt presence in Ballina has also worked well. If we can just hold off a little longer, I think when we return, with the increasing levels of human confidence, we’ll see a good hunting season. Thank you and remember. Great White Power Sharks!”.
Make Attacks Great Again
I will take one of those hats.
BRB headed north to surf the lakes with Burt.
A good ol fashioned fry, Chas ?
If you keep stretching to reach new journalistic heights like this people will no longer take you seriously.
Penis fish ! A return to that type of reporting will get you back on track.

“No need for tasty morsels, I mean people to think it unsafe to swim off the Carolinas. As you have witnessed from social media speculation, wild data abounds. Thank you for participating in viral mental pro test. People are like data points, impossible not to consume.”
