| Nearly a half century ago, a scruffy crew landed off Cape Cod to film the movie Jaws. Today, we know these waters are home to the world’s highest concentration of great white sharks. Why do they swim so close to shore?
This image off Cape Cod by Nat Geo Explorer Brian Skerry sheds one clue. Look closely. Cue the scary music. At the bottom right of the frame, you see a lone great white, quietly cutting off an escape route for a herd of seals near the shore.

| PHOTOGRAPH BY ACACIA JOHNSON | | A tour of Maine's MidCoast oysters and lighthouses | There's something about the light in Maine. During the day, sunshine reflects off crisp blue waters, casts angles across tidy seaside cottages, and illuminates curious creatures in tide pools. National Geographic Photographer Acacia Johnson visits Maine to capture the magic of peaceful lakeside retreats and immersive sensory experiences. | | | |
| PHOTOGRAPH BY TONI ANZENBERGER, ANZENBERGER, REDUX | | Beating the heat: It may be tempting to shave your pet’s fur in the summer, but that doesn’t actually help them cool down, Nat Geo reports. Pets don’t deal with extreme heat the way us humans do, and as temperatures continue to rise, veterinarians are calling for extra vigilance. (Above, a pup in a red and white striped beach chair.)
