«The Red Triangle includes roughly 200 miles of coastline.But it's not the beachgoers and surfers that
attract great whites to these waters.It's the rich
population of other mammals like elephant
seals, harbor
seals, sea lions, and sea otters.Great whites prefer to prey on these animals instead of humans.
But it is its
population of 10,000 + Guadalupe fur
seals (Arctocephalus townsendi)- their only major breeding site - and northern elephant
seals (Mirounga angustirostris) that
attract the sharks.
