Rant - Record Number of Shark-Bitten Sea Otters Found Along California Coast
A record number of shark-bitten otters have been found along California's Central Coast.
Scientists say they found nineteen injured or dead sea otters that appeared to have shark bites in August, primarily in the Pismo Beach and Morro Bay areas. Seven others with similar marks have been found so far in September.
Experts say the ten year average is about seven a month. They blame the cooler than average ocean temperatures on the increase.
Those conditions make the area ideal for great white sharks which have been reported in growing numbers in recent months.
