​Closing in on a moving target:
Take a closer look at this sequence captured with a 360 camera.  Even though the camera is being pulled away (which is why the camera survived) the 360 capability allowed me to rotate the view so as to keep looking at the shark and appreciate its adjustments as it attempts to close in on a moving target.  Of particular interest are details we might otherwise miss while we obsess over the teeth.  Look at the ongoing use of the fins, especially the pectoral fins!  Appreciate how many times the head and body turn in a split second! We see again that the eye is a 3 dimensional, beautiful orb, not a dead, black socket in the skull.  And we see the size of the gills which are necessary to provide oxygen to an animal of this size and speed.  But we also see that the throat is closed off to protect the stomach from being flooded with the same rush of water that provides the oxygen!  
All that information in what, in real-time, was a few seconds of footage!!!

Endothermic White Shark Babies?
How are Endothermy, Climate Change, and Increased White Shark Sightings Related? Endothermy is a pretty special physical feature of white sharks, but did you know they aren't born with this capability!? Instead, it develops as they get older. I learned that for the first time at a lecture where both Dr. Chris Lowe and Dr. Aaron Carlysle presented their research regarding the movements of white sharks (and other lamnid sharks) along the California coast and how water temperature affects these movements. Why is that significant?

Monsters of the Indianapolis
​The USS Indianapolis is often referred to as the "worst shark attack" in history.  After examining the story it seems more appropriate to call it the "biggest clean up job" sharks ever had to do in the aftermath of humans attempting to kill each other.
In this Shark Minutes episode we look at Hollywood's latest portrayal of the events and compare them to to other accounts of the event.

.​Cage diving is a heavily debated topic with pros and cons on both sides.  Some arguments are legitimate,  some are misinformed, and some are yet to be proven one way or another.  But there is one argument that may just trump all others.

Shark Minutes Season 3 Episode 3. Teaching Sharks to Eat People.
Is the cage dive industry teaching sharks to associate humans with food and consequently hunt them? How about shark ecotourism in general? What about any human / shark interaction where bait and scent is used? There's no shortage of heated debates on this topic, but I think I found two new arguments to consider on the matter.   Watch the episode below.
