Back home to glass conditions 🤩💙 #glass #ocean #sharks #sharkbehavior #sky

Quick peek from today as I am just so grateful and happy to be back home with my home sharks @oneoceandiving #sharkidkalihi #sharkidmoana #sharkidbully and my Jawsome team with gorgeous weather all day 💙🩵💙🩵💙🦈🦈🦈🦈 Behavior info ℹ️: “Surface chomp behavior” Shark ID Kalihi does this more than any other tiger I’ve met, often when leaning out over the side creating a shadow like a bird. I’ve watched her put a lot of effort into trying to catch albatross birds who occasionally land, boobie birds, and she’s done this at drones as well. It might surprise people that birds are part of a tiger sharks diet but I like to make a cute analogy… if you ate seafood all the time and one day you try a “chicken nugget” you might put effort into that too, but in all seriousness, there was actually a study that theorized that it is because the birds provide plant-based fatty acids that they cannot get from their strictly seafood diet. in places like Coco‘s wear nests overhang, the water tiger sharks are known to patrol. P.s.- I also splashed the surface with a fin right here behind the engines that put out electrical impulses and the metal rod into the water conducts electricity into the water and sharks have really cool sensory systems called the: ampuallae of Lorenzini and the later line that allow them to feel this electrical output at close range. Sharks are forever fascinating to me and I love to see similarities and differences in behavior of individuals overtime 😍 Learn more out with @oneoceandiving @oneoceansharks
