I’d have to convince the captain of the RV Aurora to dock in the Hudson River instead of Woods Hole. But if there’s a royalty check waiting for me I’ll consider it.

This is what non-frenzied feeding of a large squalus looks like. Working a whale like it’s corn-on-the-cob.

Probably a large squalus. Possibly either C. longimanus or Isurus glaucus.

PSA: Rogue sharks are most prone to attack on 4th of July weekends near summer towns with mayors who ignore scientists and public safety officials. Be safe out there!
