@30ce86c6 "The small sharks that damaged a catamaran off the coast of Cairns have been described as “pencils with teeth” and they have a history of trying to eat inanimate objects, including submarines... Marine biologists believe the attack was “a classic case of mistaken identity” from a “supercool” little shark that glows in the dark and has a very big attitude, despite its size." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/07/cookiecutter-sharks-what-are-cairns-catamaran-attack #Nature #Science #Sharks #News https://assets.newsie.social/media_attachments/files/111/027/110/611/481/567/original/6070a9955756a2e4.png
