"Drone Captures First-Ever Footage of Live Newborn Great White Shark off Santa Barbara Coast"

A Malibu filmmaker, in collaboration with UC Riverside researchers, may have captured the first-ever footage of a newborn Great White shark off the Santa Barbara coast. The 5-foot-long nearly all-white pup was spotted last July, and its discovery has raised questions among shark scientists about the predator's reproduction. The filmmaker believes the milky film seen on the shark is embryonic membrane from birth, and the shape of its dorsal fin suggests it's a newborn. The find has been published in a scientific journal, and researchers are eager to learn more about this elusive stage of the Great White shark's life.
