Two big sharks were fished out of the Potomac River this week. Is the U.S. capital swimming with predators?

Ahhh but who is the real predator?
Man is the most dangerous of all IMO.

I saw this quote on that link...

quote:
"This summer we also had a humpback whale visit us in the bay, so really you never know what you will find here."

Ahhh man, where was I? I would have loved to have seen that. Whales are my all time favorite animal. I swear I must have been one in a previous life. I remember back when I was a teen...maybe 1985 or somewhere around there, San Francisco had a humpback whale visit the bay. They called him Humphrey. My mom still has the sweatshirt she bought to mark the occasion lol (from a long line of nerds lol).

Kind of funny, it was Rio-Vista. That's where my mom spent a lot of time growing up and took us kids there when we were little to Pacifica...

good times, good times...
