A dead whale carcass floating in the waters off the South Shore has been attracting all sorts of wildlife, including great white sharks.
Chisholm said when a whale dies, like a Lollipop, it floats on the surface and decomposes, sending out a slick. Once sharks find the scent, they follow it to the whale and take advantage of the nutrient-rich food source.
If the carcass was south of Massachusetts, Chisholm said it would also attract other warmer-water creatures such as tiger and dusky sharks.
