I first read about it in &lt;i&gt;The Devil&amp;#x27;s Teeth&lt;/i&gt;, a book (the only one?) about the Farallon Islands (20 miles west of San Francisco) where they actively study Great Whites.&lt;p&gt;They&amp;#x27;ve known it was there since satellite tracker data indicated that in the 2000s. I guess what the article is talking about discovering is the &lt;i&gt;Café&lt;/i&gt; part. They didn&amp;#x27;t know that there was food there or rather they didn&amp;#x27;t understand the food there.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;White_Shark_Caf%C3%A9&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;White_Shark_Caf%C3%A9&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

All we really know about them comes from behavior at the surface. Immature whites are rarely every seen.  We don&amp;#x27;t know where the real tiny ones grow up.  Mating behavior is a totally open book atm.  Only recently have we learned that they move in loose packs.&lt;p&gt;I got a real kick out of a study that gave credence to the old surfer&amp;#x27;s adage &amp;quot;big waves, big shark&amp;quot;.  It turns out they like to recharge in the more oxygenated waters near breaking waves.  Bigger and more territoriality dominant sharks hang out near the bigger waves.</text></comment>
