Megalodon!
A 50 foot shark has been found 1 mile down the mariana trench. At first, many thought it was a Pacific Sleeper Shark. The issue with that theory is the Pacific Sleeper Shark grow only to 20 feet, the shark featured is 50+ feet long. That measurement is estimated using the length of the cage, which is 10 feet across. Could this be the last remaining Megalodon? Video Courtesy: Buzz Channel | Facebook

Western Austrailia to Deploy Fleet of Drones in a Bid to Prevent Shark Attacks
Article Courtesy: news.com.au | Originally Published: October 10, 2016
DRONES will be used at West Australian beaches in a three-month trial to monitor shark activity and potentially spot other dangers such as rips and schools of bait fish, which attract the predators.
Under the plan, $88,000 will be provided for four small drones equipped with a high-definition camera to stream live pictures back to Surf Life Saving WA operators at some metropolitan and regional beaches.
Fisheries Minister Joe Francis said the trial was part of the state government’s $33 million Shark Hazard Mitigation strategy.
“Drone technology has advanced significantly in recent years and it makes sense to test if it can be used effectively to make our beaches safer,” he said on Sunday.
“The trial will assess whether this eye in the sky technology can add value to the beach surveillance currently provided by helicopter and beach patrols.” Mr Francis said SLSWA would test the technology’s capability against environmental factors, such as weather conditions and beach geography, and would be flown at beach events such as surf carnivals.
The trial will run from November to January, and future funding will depend on the results.
