🎥+💬: @faithwfins Shark Behavior: Checking! I had this male tiger shark check me on a dive yesterday. It’s not a common behavior that I’ve seen a whole lot of in tiger sharks, but males are more confrontational and assertive. This male tiger shark came surfing a wave towards the boat while I was on a charter. I saw him approaching under the bubbles and sunlight (a common approach for tigers) and swam at him to match his intensity coming at me. As you can see he turned away from me since I matched his energy but they do not always turn. Being aware and prepared for any behaviors, even intense ones such as this, is super vital when dealing with apex predators in their home. #oneoceanresearch #marinebiology #oceanlife #oceanfacts #savethesharks #savetheocean #marineconservation #oneocean #changetheworld #oceanconservation #sharkeducation #greynurseshark #oneoceanglobal #oneoceaneducation #oneocean
