In a rare sighting, an adult great white shark swims near shore in Southern California – an area typically teeming with juveniles.

A roughly 15-foot Great White shark was captured on video last week swimming close to Santa Monica's shores, providing a rare glimpse of the fully grown apex predator idling in near-urban waters. Photographer Carlos Guana launched a drone Thursday about a mile north of the Santa Monica Pier after hearing reports that some Great White sharks had been observed breaching — launching themselves out of the water in acrobatic displays of force and fury.
