  1. Contrary to popular belief, I've seen that sharks actually have relatively weak bites competitively to other animals. It's their massive size coupled with their speed allows fornsich force on impact, and with rows of razor sharp teeth, they can easily tear flesh from their pray and wound it with what's essentially a giant moving mass of sharp teeth.

  2. Just a word to everyone who believes it's cruel how much energy the shark used on a fake seal, but the trick to being an apex predator is factoring in misses when they're deciding whether to attack or not. They KNOW they're not going to succeed in every attack and that's why they're so efficient. Because they HAVE to be.
    Its like how retail companies acknowledge losses to account for thefts and faults and things like that whenever they do their company accounts. Its about being pragmatic. If sharks could only succeed by hitting everything they target, they'd be extinct in a matter of months. Its a fascinating characteristic of biological evolution, and remains a highly complex survival tactic.
    Sharks are incredible.

  3. I think when scientists do this they should attach a real dead seal at the end of the rope. I would imagine it takes a lot of energy for the shark to breach, and have no caloric reward for its troubles.

  4. ehhhh I live in California and surf all the time and you know how sharks think surfboards are seals … well just hoping this never happens too me thats why I put magnets around my surfboard cuz sharks do not like magnets
