Posted: Wed, 03 Aug 2011 20:25:20 +0000
An 18-foot great white shark named Curly “slam dances” on top of a shark cage. Will she crush the cage? Will the door break open, leaving the men inside vulnerable? “Jaws Comes Home,” part of the Shark Week 2011 lineup, holds the answer. Great white sharks, in large numbers, are now suddenly being found swimming [...]From: Shark Society - The ultimate Shark Scuba Diving People

Like cars lined up at a car wash, sharks and rays gather at ocean cleaning stations that new research finds are mostly located at seamounts. There, hungry and detail-driven cleaner wrasse fish rid sharks of dead skin, external parasites and other undesirables.

Swimming with the gentle giants of Tofo. Eyes stinging with the wonder of it, my head breaks the surface and a rippling swell sloshes about my ears.

Sharks navigate using mental maps
Posted: Wed, 02 Mar 2011 06:28:37 +0000
Some shark species make “mental maps” of their home ranges, allowing them to pin-point destinations up to 50km (30 miles) away, research suggests. US-based scientists analyzed data from tiger sharks tagged with acoustic transmitters, and found that they took directed paths from place to place. Other species such as blacktip reef sharks did not show [...]From: Shark Society - The ultimate Shark Scuba Diving People
