Video footage was released this week of a great white shark believed to be the largest ever recorded.

Mexican marine biologist and shark specialist Mauricio Hoyos Padilla posted the video on his Facebook page, although it is believed to have been shot last year for a Discovery Channel documentary in which the scientist participated.

At one point in the video Hoyos Padilla leaves the protection of the shark cage, located near Guadalupe Island off the coast of Baja California, and touches the shark, which has been named Deep Blue.

The six-meter-long great white, pregnant at the time, was the largest the scientist had ever seen. It has been tagged so as to track its location.

Distinctive scars on its back are believed to have been caused by bites that occurred during sex.

The great white shark was made famous by Jaws, first a novel and then a film, and made the fish appear to be a dangerous man-eater. But humans are not, according to Wikipedia, it’s preferred diet.

Very heavy and occasionally torrential rains are forecast for Guerrero, Oaxaca and Chiapas following the formation of the third named storm of the Pacific hurricane season.

The tropical depression that formed off the Gulf of Tehuantepec officially became tropical storm Carlos today and as of 1:00pm Central Time was situated 350 kilometers south of Acapulco and 495 kilometers south-southeast of Lázaro Cárdenas, Michoacán, according to the National Meteorological Service.

The rains will be accompanied by thunderstorms and large waves. Heavy rain is also forecast for Veracruz and Michoacán.

Accuweather predicted the storm will remain well enough offshore that winds will not pose a threat, but warned there is a slight chance it will turn to the north and create damaging winds and widespread flooding in much of Guerrero and Oaxaca.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center expects Carlos to “meander northward” for the next two days, after which its direction will swing to the northwest or west-northwest.

No coastal watches or warnings are in effect.
