Behavior of a Shark
Most sharks have a
diversity of often complex behaviors related to feeding, mating and social
interactions that we still don't fully understand. In the Bay of Fundy it's
impossible to study the sharks behavior due to the strong current which
constantly stirs up the silt from the bottom impairing an chance of witnessing
the shark in his natural habitat. An example of some of these complex behaviors
is illustrated in the chart below, which shows the agonistic display of the
gray reef shark.
