TL;DR Summary

A wildlife filmmaker and a biology doctoral student in California may have captured the first-ever footage of a live newborn great white shark shedding its embryonic layer off the coast of Santa Barbara, potentially uncovering a definitive birthing location for the species. The observations, detailed in a new paper, suggest that the shark was only hours to days old, shedding a white layer that could have been uterine milk. This discovery could help solve the mystery of great white shark birthing habits, as no one has ever seen a newborn baby shark alive in the wild before.
