Some interesting behaviors I’ve observed recently could say a lot about how sharks take information in about their environment. In this episode, we examine a small but very telling action the white sharks are engaging in prior to taking a bite at kelp.
I also film one of the funniest encounters I’ve ever witnessed. Watch closely. Does the bird employ a very interesting defense mechanism?
