DOZENS of sharks have been spotted lurking off the California coastline – weeks after a swimmer was savaged by a great white.
Scores of leopard sharks were detected near the seaside resort of La Jolla, San Diego County earlier this week.The animals were seen surfacing the ocean bed as they hunt for foodStunning aerial shots captured the sharks swimming near paddleboarders.: “During the summer and early into the early fall months, we see the migration of mostly female pregnant leopard sharks who come over to the La Jolla area to enjoy the warmer waters.
"They speed up their gestation period and they’re actually able to give birth to their young a little bit sooner than a typical pregnancy for sharks.”The predators tend to live along the Pacific coastline and flock to La Jolla because of its warm waters.The species, which are fairly harmless to humans, feast on marine life including fishes and crabs, and measure up to seven feet in length.
