Did anyone catch the great white show that was on Thursday nite on channel 44? These guys were doing shark research off the coast of Australia and were tagging great whites and then they were watching their "behaviours" from a distance. Some neat stuff that I learned out of it...sharks travel the "bubble curtain" in search of prey which is the area just before the white water. This is their prime hunting ground. They definitely hunt in packs but as sole predators...and they travel back and forth in the same area constantly, sometimes never leaving an area for weeks.

Sharks have different eyes than most fish...they can also see outside of the water as well as under it at the same time. So they can see you on your boat as well as what's underwater. I found that interesting.

Sharks can live out of water for up to 10 hours....

Looking forward to chark week
