A two-mile stretch of Huntington Beach in Southern California was closed on Tuesday afternoon following the sighting of a great white shark exhibiting what was reported as aggressive behavior. The closure affected a location popular with local swimmers and surfers.
According to reports, it remains unclear whether this specific shark has previously been observed in the area. However, the presence of unusual marine wildlife in Southern California has been linked to abnormally warm ocean temperatures driven by a powerful El Niño weather pattern.
