MISTERY ABOUT SHARKS..

Postby Prionace » Tue Aug 08, 2006 8:18 pm

Do you know the solutions of the following misteries about sharks?? :shock:
If you have let me know!! :)

1) The shark Carcharhinus longimanus is usual to follow the Globicephala macrorhyncus that swims and moves in numerous flocks. The delfinidis, because of the great dimensions, don't come certain considered preys from these sharks.. Which is the explanation of this behavior, really very particular??

2) The hammer shark Sphyrna lewini, normally solitary, has been observed to swim, in the reefs of Sanganeb in Red Sea, in numerous flocks, with the adult samples to the outside and the young people to the center.. Surely these sharks don't have to unite themselves in flocks to avoid the raiders, and probably they don't even do it for reproductive motives.. Which is therefore the explanation??

3) According to Walter Starck the strips coloration white and black horizontal, that reproduces that poisonous snakes of sea can be used as anti-shark protection in the cases in which it is had to be to narrow contact with these animals (es: taken back video, search, etc.).
The author remembers, to confirmation of this, the coloration of the pilots fish that often accompanies the sharks in their swimming and the declarations of the king of the island Tonga that makes to paint his people to white and black strips before plunging themselves in sea to fish. Can these explanations have therefore a scientific value?
