Unjustified bites are of particular importance for researchers who study the patterns of shark.

“We are interested in the natural patterns of shark behavior so that we can understand the reason for people being bitten by these animals,” said Javin Nilor, director of the Florida Research Research Program. “Any braid or feature that adjusts the natural behavior of the animal is something. We, as scientists, want to exclude it.”
