Drones show California's great white sharks . . .

Not too surprised, actually.

Excerpt:
"Great whites were thought to be somewhat rare in these southern waters, wandering now and then from the wilder coast up north. Most surfers considered it supremely improbable that one of these apex predators was hunting for food at their break.

The advent of drone photography has devoured that notion.

Gauna spots a great white within a minute-and-a-half of launch. The animal weaves languidly in the surf line, about 100 yards from the father and son. “Wow, he’s in the waves,” he says. “That is so pretty.”

Soon he has locked his screen on four juvenile more sharks, all near shore."

That's Santa Barbara County. Luckily, we don't have sharks in NorCal...
