Is it a bird? airplane? No, it’s “Sharktopus”: an unparalleled sea association – another national

Video footage of Octopus Ride on the back a shark The international masses have been given since it was released by researchers at Auckland University earlier this week.

the New Zealand A group of unlikely bilateral ocean experts monitored Akhtabar Al -Maori floating on top of the short Mako shark, in the Gulf of Huraaki during the summer of 2023.

The researchers were looking for the madness of nutrition when they monitored the couple riding the waves in the past and manufacturing them “Sharktopus”.

according to A recent publication of the blog Written by Roshil Constantine, Professor of Biological Sciences at Oakland University and one of the researchers who discovered the extraordinary scene, the team first monitored a large backward, indicating a shark in the vicinity. When accurate examination, they noticed “an orange patch on her head.”

Initially, they assumed that it was an injury or that the shark had collided with a buoy. To confirm their doubts, the team released a drone and dropped the GOPRO camera in the water. This is when they discovered the husband.

Constantine wrote: “Octopus floats on top of the shark, clinging to its claws,” Constantine wrote.

“This was” Sharktopus “already mysterious,” she added. “The octopus is mostly on the sea floor, while the short shark in Mako does not prefer deep.”

She explained that the octopus chose a quick journey, because the short Mako is the fastest types of sharks, as it reaches 50 km/h.

The field of Constantine’s experience is the Gulf of Huraki-Tikaba Mwana, Tananoy Tae-where to study the behavior of sharks during the summer months.

The Gulf is inhabited and visited by many types of sharks, including the hunting of bronze whales, which divers and fishermen often see in shallow waters, and more common, soft hammer heads.

The large open oceans such as dusk shark, blue shark, and short Mako, “known as octopus taxi fish”, jokingly, were increasingly present in the area.

No less than the smaller shark that lives near the sea floor, such as lemon fish and original sharks, but global shark groups are in a sharp decrease, due to overfishing, climate change and low reproductive rates.

Constantine says the “Sharktopus” meeting is “a reminder of the wonders of the ocean.”

She concluded that “one of the best things in being a marine scientist is that you never know what you might see after that in the sea. By supporting memorization initiatives, we can help ensure that such exceptional moments continue to continue.”
