Residents off the south shore of Nova Scotia witnessed multiple white sharks feasting on a humpback whale carcass. Video footage captured sharks attacking the dead whale, providing a rare glimpse of these majestic creatures in action.
Local fisherman Bill Vienneau, who ventured out to witness the spectacle for himself, described the scene as "impressive to watch" as the sharks converged on the whale carcass. Vienneau estimated the largest shark to be roughly 14 feet in length, nearly the size of his own boat.
As these sharks are classified as an endangered species in Canada, the presence of the white sharks in local waters and their ability to find nutritional food sources has been noted as a positive sign by experts.

A whale carcass is very important for adult GWS. Females aren't ready to mate until they are over 15 ft long. Close to the 20 ft mark. And the males don't dare approach them until the females are in a deep food coma. How does the food coma happen? When the females find a whale carcass. The younger, smaller sharks know to pull away, and allow the adult ( almost 20 ft!) females have access.

“He estimated the largest to be approximately 14 feet. Nearly the length of his boat” 😂 Which part do you think the news edit team added to this story to spice it up a bit ? 😂

Ya his boat is definitely a lot more than 14 feet

I actually saw a blue shark in the video

@slw59 7 күн бұрын

The sharks at 0:44 and 1:52 are white sharks. A blue shark has an elongated Caudal fin (upper tail fin). The white shark's tail fin is more symmetrical.

That was a blue shark that swam beneath the boat at 0:45, so its great whites and blues?

No, that was a great white. Blue sharks have thinner more stream lined features.

That's very clearly a white shark, blue sharks are way more stream line and they have massive eyes.

@chief2459 11 күн бұрын

Also white sharks have more symmetrical caudal fins than blue sharks as seen in this video. And both white and blue sharks have white under their snout.

@@JuanValentino-yu1ft We've got lots of them in coastal waters here on PEI, plus blue sharks that come right up rivers. Swimming in August when I was younger, we'd watch blues cruise by, following mackerel schools and the odd time you'd see the big fin of a great white out in Charlottetown harbour. That's when you get out of the water. Blues won't bother you, but I'd not trust a great white.

@@DeeSmith001 I guess PEI is Prince Edward Island , the birthplace of Canada . Great Whites like cooler waters for sure . We have bull sharks in estuaries , they are small but can be nasty but I have seen Grey Nurse sharks and Hammerheads also . In the larger saltwater lakes we also get the occasional small Great White shark . Just lost a guy in the lake not far from where I live when the small boat got overturned at night . 3 made it to shore one disappeared . We don't know what really happened . Great Whites have been known to overturn small boats . 4 young guys so they may have been drunk or doing something stupid . Tragic loss .
