There was a lot of talk about sharks this past Summer. From gruesome scenes of nature playing out, to people even helping a stranded shark, the stories have run the gamut of scary to encouraging. And one of the most endearing shark stories centered around a regular visitor.

There have been a lot of shark tales already in this early stage of summer 2015. From our friendly visitor Mary Lee to much scarier encounters to the south of us, a very different story unfolded to the north this week.

Fair warning - some may find this photo disturbing. But it's a stark reminder of the sometimes brutal things that go on in nature.
