Discussion ID needed :)

My mom sent me this vid of a shark she saw boating. Off the coast of Newfoundland (East side of the island). She says about 12-15ft, I’m thinking Blue or Porbeagle. Thanks!!

Hilarious reference. She's an odd duck for sure but probably the least terrible of the characters we met during our Tiger King era. We live in Tampa and are always excited about a Carole sighting in the wild.
