Unbelievable Great White Shark Behavior Documented!
While trying to figure out if great white sharks are aware of drones watching from above, I discover an unbelievable behavior you have to see to believe. In this episode, we also explore the visual sensing abilities of great white sharks using drone footage I've captured along the Southern California coast. From juvenile white sharks to full-grown adults, the video investigates whether sharks can see or react to drone shadows—revealing surprising behaviors that may open doors to future shark deterrent research. Featuring real shark reactions, spyhopping behavior, and insights into electroreception, vision, and the lateral line system, this week's video offers a rare aerial perspective on shark behavior.
