The gentle giants of Tofo
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. Up here all is hysteria, hyper-adrenalized euphoria: 16 goggle-eyed tourists treading water, yelling astonishment through surf and snorkels. Bubble, splash, gurgle . . . “ . . . mazing’’ . . . “ . . . did you see?’’ It’s an understandable reaction when...

Sharks navigate using mental maps
Shark News on 03 1st, 2011 |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 this behavior. Writing in the Journal of Animal Ecology,...

Great White slam dance
Shark Dive on August 3, 2011 |
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 among surfers and vacationers just off beaches from South Africa to Australia, and up and down the coast of California. Just why they’re there and just what they’re doing is a mystery that Chris Fallows and an international team of sharks scientists are...
Shark cleaning stations
Shark Dive on March 19, 2011 |
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. The study, published in the latest PLoS One, could help to explain why many oceanic sharks regularly venture into shallow coastal water. At such places, they are more vulnerable to humans – their #1 predator – but cleaning off must be more important to them. Simon Oliver, a researcher at the University of Wales, Bangor, School...
