The shark was spotted by someone on land who took pictures. The photographer was interviewed and the photographs were examined by Seashore officials, Price said. The shark was reportedly "very close" to the shore.

The seal attack took place between Race Point Beach in Provincetown and Head of the Meadow Beach in Truro, according to the Cape Cod National Seashore. It was about two or three miles from each of the beaches, which have lifeguards.
