A giant great white shark, measuring over 12 feet, washed up on a beach in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The shark, named Koala, was previously identified by the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy in 2022. There are no obvious signs of how or why Koala died, and further testing is needed to establish a cause of death. The area is a popular summer destination and a preferred feeding ground for white sharks, with the most recent bite on a human in 2018. Authorities enlisted the help of a local tow truck company to remove the shark from the beach, with residents comparing the scene to the movie 'Jaws'.
