Unbelievably huge great white shark washes up on Cape Cod beach

"Unfortunately, this giant was located washed up on the beach, and just as with a 4x4 stuck on the outer, we called Dennis to tow it away."

We surfers, we players in the ocean, are all very aware that monstrous creatures lurk beneath our dangling toesies. Sharp-fanged brutes with beady little eyes and remorseless souls. Bloodbottlers and fleshlumpeaters, bonecrunchers and manhuggers. Yes, we are all very aware but do our best to shove that very awareness into the dusty corner’d pieces of our brains where old math equations lurk.

But then one of the beasties washes to shore and that very awareness lurches to the front and haunts and haunts and haunts.

And let us travel to Cape Cod where a great white so large, so viciously scary, washed to shore. The Orleans police department shared:

Not one of our typical calls for service. Nor is it one for our local duty tow, Nauset Recovery. But, as always, we answered the call. Unfortunately, this giant was located washed up on the beach, and just as with a 4×4 stuck on the outer, we called Dennis to tow it away. You really never know what kind of call you’ll respond to on any given shift. At least Sgt Elliott only needed to follow the tow truck and didn’t have to wrestle an unruly Great White.

That Dennis a real champ. Back to the GREAT white, though, the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy declared it would be performing a necropsy to see what killed the freak. “At this point, we do not know if it was a tagged or previously identified individual,” it revealed.

Now, the next time you paddle, will you have visions of the colossus swimming beneath or are you of strong mind and spirit like Dennis?

Be honest, please.
