Bravo Doc!

Patric is right - great pic by Daniel!

If threatened by a Shark - hide among the coral!
This, and more life-saving tips on Shark-human interaction in this remarkably stupid feature on the Voice of Russia.

Thankfully, there is Doc - see the comment!
And no, I got nothing to add!

For once!

Swarming Tiger Sharks???


C’mon guys…

This video apparently depicts hundreds of Tiger Sharks chasing baitfish in Oz.



Really???
Like every year, baitfish aggregate on the Ozzie (and also, Florida) coast and are being hunted by small Sharks: mainly Spinners (C. brevipinna) and Blacktips (C. limbatus) and granted, sometimes Bulls and Tigers too.
Tigers have broad blunt heads, comparatively tiny pectoral fins, very long tails and a distinctive, slow and determined swimming style – is that what you can see here?

Time to get out of the couch and do some diving again!
