A large great white shark was spotted for the first time in decades off the coast of Spanish islands. Isn't that amazing? I do find it fascinating despite the fact that sharks scare me to death. One of the scariest movies I have ever seen was the original "Jaws". I was 11 years old when my family went to the theater to see it when it first came out. It freaked me out.
A great white shark has been spotted in a marine park in Spain’s Balearic Islands, in the first confirmed sighting of the predator in Spanish waters for more than four decades.

Great Whites HAVE been sighted. They just weren't photographed so a scientist could verify the sighting, pony.

@LeaPea2417 , my native village is situated near Indian Ocean Sea shore in India, we have lot of sharks in the sea in that particular area. The baby sharks are consumed by the locals there! Thanks!

Yes, I know they are scavengers and help keep the oceans clean.

You sound just like @vandana7, although I doubt that she ever watched the movie Jaws!1 person likes this

@vandana7 Well, then! Don't you think the sharks should have an equal chance at dissecting you, vanny? After all, turnabout is fair play!

Yes, I remember the jaws hysteria quite well. People were avoiding going in the water after that movie came out. We have had the same shark swim off our coastline in NJ the past few years. A great white called Mary Lee.
Greg Argos reports.

@LeaPea2417 I imagine she will return at some point in her migration. We will see?

We didn't watch Jaws at the big screen but saw it on betamax with my parents and siblings. Dad was into Hollywood movies a lot. But I can barely remember anything because I was really too young then. I didn't even go to school yet.

I just saw sharks at the aquarium. You're right, my dear friend, the great white shark is charming and scary.

I don't think it's a good sign, something might had destroyed their habitat from where they came from or their natural source of food was the one damaged. Changing water temperatures could be another reason.
" Jaws " was really scary especially considering we are an island nation

Woah! That is so neat! I love sharks, I think they are so pretty. They are like the only thing of the ocean that doesn't freak me out, oddly enough haha
