Dusky sharks, who are apparently fed by people and tour boat operators so they stick around the boats.
Witness testimonies suggest a shark reportedly lunged at his GoPro camera.
“The situation likely occurred via a process of juxtaposition bites, with two distinct motivations: the first, a (probably single) reflex/clumsiness bite driven by food begging, and the second, several predatory bites triggered by a feeding frenzy,” researchers explain.
“The central objective is to eliminate the begging behaviour in sharks, and this can only be achieved by establishing and enforcing a complete and total ban on all artificial feeding of sharks by the public,” scientists write.
Ah, once again we’ve identified the true problem while they’re trying to blame and fearmonger sharks.
Vending machines, people. Don’t forget.
Sharks are literally underwater dogs. Same consequences for FAFO, but much more stigmatized.
Sharks aren’t FAFO. If they are hungry they attack.
If they’re hungry and you look like food to them. Which is non-trivial.
Isn’t that only poisonous jellyfish?
This man was last seen surrounded by cats:
Previously thought harmless, these were really really hungry.
I’ve never met a cat person who believed they were harmless.
Not being harmless os part of their charm.
The odds of your pet cat killing and eating you are low, but never zero.
