The great white sharks return to Cape Town
After disappearing from South African beaches for nearly four years, great white sharks have been spotted again, thanks to Drone Fanatics SA in collaboration with the Shark Spotters team. Local publication CapeTownETC adds that three sharks were sighted near the lookout point in Plettenberg Bay.
Marine biologists suspect their migration from local waters may have been due to temperature changes. Great white sharks typically prefer water temperatures between 14 and 24 degrees Celsius and often relocate when conditions fall outside this range.
Mzansi honours the man
Social media users did not hesitate to applaud @ruanvdh10 for his bravery and skill. Some also asked him to share details about his good-gripping footwear, which also helped him navigate through the slippery rocks.
