Great White Sharks are congregating at a certain spot in the Pacific Ocean. Nothing to see here, folks. Everything's fine....
Little-known fact: "Australia" is actually an abbreviated form. The land's full name is "AauuuggghhhhAAUUGGHHHHHstralia <whimper>."
Quote:Yes, great white sharks are typically solitary creatures, so researchers were a bit surprised to realize just how many of them travel to the same spot halfway between Hawaii and Mexico’s Baja California. And yes, it’s true that the strange behavioral patterns the sharks exhibit once they get there—diving 1,000 feet toward the ocean floor and back up again, as often as every 10 minutes, for example—have never been previously recorded in any study of great white shark migration.-----
But do not worry. Hundreds of great white sharks have been mysteriously drawn to the same New Mexico-sized patch of the Pacific every spring for at least the last 10 years, like it’s some kind of shark Davos. Seriously, you do not need to be concerned.
It should not bother you at all that scientists have been watching this spot for more than a decade and they still don’t know what they’re doing down there.
