    Drone footage shows a number of great white sharks swimming around surfers at a California beach.

    The footage was captured at San Onofre beach, San Diego, by photographer Kevin Christopherson and shows sharks longer than the surfers’ boards lurking beneath the surface.

    “I counted 4 maybe 5 total great white sharks, and it didn’t stop anyone from catching some waves,” Christopherson posted with the video.

    San Onofre beach is known as a breeding ground for the sharks and sightings are common.

    The animal was taken to the state lab to be tested for rabies.

    The top politician in Australia’s Northern Territory said Tuesday it was “time to consider” a return to crocodile culling after an attack at a popular swimming spot.

    A 67-year-old man is recovering in hospital after encountering a crocodile at Wangi Falls in Litchfield National Park on Monday.

    Northern Territory chief minister Natasha Fyles told reporters there had been a “significant increase” in the crocodile population since culling was suspended in the 1970s, with numbers going from around 3,000 to an estimate of more than 100,000.
