I don't know where they breed,the first time I actually saw one I knew exactly what it was though,very distinctive. I missed a chance to see whales (not sure which species) a few years back. The turtles were nesting a few miles down the coast (tarragona) just after lockdown. We went and volunteered to guard the nests as they hatched. Funny little fuuckers. Where did you hold the larvae? Was it here in Spain? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eastcoast 4,465 Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 I've always been fascinated by sharks, the proper ones, the ones that will eat you. Get pissed off with the people who make carefully orchestrated documentaries when they swim with Great Whites or Tiger's trying to give them good PR and portray as just misunderstood and harmless. 100% agree we should not be killing them, but they regard us as prey and eat us. Cool things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

YOKEL 2,340 Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 There was a scientific study on shark predation on humans, and they came to the conclusion that sharks almost always only attack us when we're wet! Yokel 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
