Book Synopsis The Secret Life of Sharks by : A. Peter Klimley
Download or read book The Secret Life of Sharks written by A. Peter Klimley and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-06-17 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marine biologist Pete Klimley swims with the sharks. He was one of the first scientists to free-dive among sharks, and he has spent nearly thirty years studying shark behavior, sometimes swimming in schools of several hundred sharks. From his firsthand observations he has learned that sharks are not the vicious man-eaters that we imagine, but fascinating animals with complex behaviors. Most people who think of sharks at all think immediately of great white sharks. But there are more than four hundred species of shark. Dr. Klimley has studied several species, most notably the great white and the hammerhead. (He describes the great white as the athlete among sharks, and the hammerhead as the Ph.D. of the shark world.) In The Secret Life of Sharks Dr. Klimley reveals the significant discoveries he made about hammerhead navigation and great white eating habits. By studying hammerheads gathered around underwater seamounts, Dr. Klimley learned that hammerheads rely on sophisticated tracking of ocean-floor magnetism to navigate. His long-term study of great white sharks off the California coast demonstrated that these huge sharks prefer to eat seals and sea lions because of the energy contained in their fatty bodies. They are selective eaters, not the man-eaters we expect, and they sometimes go weeks between meals. But Dr. Klimley did observe a ritualized behavior that great whites practice in order to avoid deadly disputes over prey that one shark has captured and another wants. Although we have learned a great deal about shark behavior, says Dr. Klimley, there is much that we do not know. Unfortunately we are destroying these magnificent creatures of the deep through overfishing and degradation of the oceans. Already some populations of sharks have declined steeply. Vividly written by one of the foremost authorities on sharks, The Secret Life of Sharks is a fascinating account of some of the world's most magnificent animals.

Book Synopsis The Private Life of Sharks by : Michael Bright
Download or read book The Private Life of Sharks written by Michael Bright and published by Robson Books Limited. This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharks frighten and fascinate people. They stir the ultimate primeval fear: that of being eaten alive. Usually depicted as killing machines, cold and calculating, sharks are, in fact, as Michael Bright illustrates, remarkable creatures that we are just beginning to understand. New studies by acquanauts and scientists have begun to reveal the private life of the shark, enabling us to learn more about this much misunderstood creature. Recent observations of the notorious Great White shark have revealed that, far from being the solitary predator that it is so often portrayed, Great Whites have in fact frequent interactions with other sharks and live in a complex society, adhering to strict social rules. Research has also revealed that although the Great White is responsible for most shark attacks on humans, these attacks are, in fact, a case of mistaken identity, the shark spitting out its bite once realizing its prey is not the seal or sea lion it anticipated. During the past two decades the fate of the shark has become inextricably linked with the way in which people have been treating the planet. The Private Life of Sharks is the most up-to-date account of the life of sharks and their extraordinary behaviour. It explores their natural history and the important role they play as apex predators in the world's oceans. It also highlights their exploitation and vulnerability, and their unexpected demise.
