It's already been a bad press year for sharks, so have some cool footage of California Great Whites hanging out around surfers and swimmers and being chill about it.
It even has film of a few novel behaviors!

How to Photo ID a Great White
Have you ever bought a species identification book or downloaded an app like iNaturalist? If the answer is yes, that means you are both a naturalist and participating in citizen science! Chances are, your photos and sighting records have helped either a population assessment or a spatial distribution study of at least one species. In the field of shark science, citizen science plays an important role in identifying individuals of a population.

Exciting news for the cute shark lovers of the world! We finally have a recorded sighting of a baby great white shark, likely only a few hours old.
The question of where great white sharks give birth still remains a mystery to this day but this footage may suggest the coasts of California, where the footage was taken, are a site where these sharks give birth.
