(WHDH) — A great white shark swam up to a lobster boat before it was seen circling a dead humpback whale in the water off Cape Cod on Tuesday morning.
Videos taken by Matty Riley and shared by the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy showed a large shark swim up to his vessel, which was located near the whale carcass.
“He’s coming right up to the boat!” one man on board could be heard saying as the shark lifted its head out of the water and nudged the boat.
Riley also snapped a photo that captured the moment the shark breached next to the whale, flashing its razor-sharp teeth.
