Carlos Gauna spends a lot of his time flying a drone above the California coastline. It’s a haven for juvenile great white sharks, as you likely know, but they’re rarely a danger to humans. As they age, they head into deeper waters.
November is generally when most white sharks leave, however, so Gauna’s filming slows down a bit. But there are still a few that stay behind to enjoy the colder, less crowded waters, and in this week’s great white shark observation, Gauna finds a few of them. He records some interesting interactions — first, a great white tries to get the jump on a pair of birds that are a little too quick for him, and second, the sharks appear to flee from the shadow of his drone before doubling back to get behind it.
