DIVE LOG AUSTRALASIA ISSUE 413 AUGUST 25

This SPOTLIGHT is brought to you courtesy of the magnificent sharks. It is a celebration of the wonderful world of sharks to coincide with the release of my new book “Diving with sharks: the marine biology of sharks in the wild”. The earliest sharks include the cement sharks like Cladoseloache from a hundred million years before the first dinosaurs to the living fossils such as the Port Jackson shark all the way up the the modern sharks including the Whalers. My new book features over thirty species of sjarks. It delves into the extra-ordinary marine biology of sharks. As more research is being done, more amazing secrets are being revealed such as how sharks use Ampullae of Lorenzini to navigate geo-magnetic lines to travel thousands of miles across the open ocean to a specific destination. Californis to Hawaii for example.
