Great white sharks will likely start moving north as warming seas open new habitats for the predatory fish, according to a new study.

The study, led by Ken Collins at the University of Southampton, predicts that at least 10 types of shark currently found in warmer places, like the Mediterranean and coast of Africa, will be swimming in British waters in coming decades.

“These include the likes of blacktips, sand tigers and hammerheads, which are currently found swimming off the coasts of Spain and Portugal,” Collins said.

 â€œIs that $3,000 bounty on the shark in Euros or Pound Sterling?”

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
