Not only was this incredibly rare, but also raised the question of what caused the scar? Was it Megalodon? Or was it just another amorous great white falling in love at first bite?

Sadly, despite the fact that the duo was there by choice and was actively following the sharks, National Geographic still felt the need to sensationalize the video and make it sound as if an attack was imminent.
