"Giant RV-sized Sharks Spotted off Ventura Coast"

Two basking sharks, measuring around 20 to 25 feet in length, were spotted off the Ventura coast, a rare and exciting sighting for onlookers. These gentle giants, known for filter-feeding on plankton, have seen a decline in numbers since the mid-1900s due to fishing. The recent sightings come after a drop in their population, prompting conservation efforts to protect the species.
