People didn’t know what to do. They tried to separate them. Shark territory is off of San Francisco it’s one of the largest territories. Thousands of sea lions gather there. The great whites hide there to catch their prey. They bite them then let them bled to death. They are at the top of the food chain. 9/4/1997 something weird happened.
