The shark is about 5 feet long and is clean white, unlike adult sharks that are gray in color.
This makes scientists believe that the shark may be a big white shark baby, according to a new paper discussing the findings in the journal Environmental Biology of Fishes.
Great white sharks, known by scientists as white sharks, have never been observed while still teenagers, and their mating and reproduction remain a long-standing mystery to marine biologists.
The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The baby shark was spotted off the coast of Santa Barbara, California, on July 9, 2023, by Guana and Phillip Sternes, a doctoral student in biology at UC Riverside, who captured the rare event with a drone camera."
The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags is as follows: "Great white sharks can grow up to 16 feet long and are listed as "vulnerable" worldwide and "critically endangered" in Europe on the IUCN Red List. These sharks give birth to their young, and the shark fetuses consume a kind of "milk" inside their mother's womb."
"Discovery of Young Great White Shark."
The size and shape of this white shark is approximately the same as that of a newly born big white shark. Another evidence supporting that this shark is still a teenager is that a pregnant shark was previously observed in the same area, indicating that this might be a popular spot for sharks to give birth.
"Previously it was estimated that large white sharks give birth far out at sea, but this teenager is only seen about 1,000 feet from the shore, indicating that they may give birth in shallow waters. Therefore, this area may be a candidate for research on the reproduction and birth of large white sharks."
In the paper, the author noted that there is a possibility that the white color of the shark may not be because it is still a teenager, but rather due to a skin condition. However, they are quite certain that it is indeed a newborn big white baby.
“Further research is needed to ensure that these waters are indeed a breeding ground for white sharks. However, if that is the case, we want parliament members to intervene and protect these waters to help white sharks continue to reproduce,” said Sternes.
