This Great White was found dead and beached in Mosselbaai (Mossel Bay - Western Cape province of South Africa) 28 October 2009 http://www.thebombsurf.com/news/409...he-monster-shark-that-washed-up-in-mosselbaai
That's a lot of shark... Do sharks even die of natural causes? Its not really something you hear much about!
The article says it's 4.5 meters in length. That's around 15 feet...big shark. I read this book a while back, called The Devil's Teeth, about the Farallon Islands and shark research that goes on out there. The islands are just 27 miles off the coast of San Francisco and during the fall, they're home to a bunch of great white sharks. The elephant seal population is what brings them. I remember reading about an 18 foot female that has been returning every other year for quite a while. I like reading about sharks, thanks for posting this.
