Newborn great white shark possibly seen in the wild for the first time

  • A live baby great white shark has been spotted in the wild in Santa Barbara, California, leading scientists to believe it could be the first evidence of a birthing location for great whites.
  • The newborn shark was around 5 feet long and pure white, shedding its embryonic layer as it swam, according to researchers. It may settle the debate about whether great whites give birth far out to sea or in shallow waters close to shore.
  • The sighting provides important insights into great white shark reproduction, but further research is needed to confirm the waters as a breeding ground and protect them.
