What an amazing event to witness. Can you believe that this little seal, halfway inside a white shark's mouth, actually escaped? 📸NikonD3300

A white shark tagged right here in Mossel Bay was killed on a drumline in KZN 😔
These outdated shark nets & drumlines have no place in modern conservation.
Time to switch to smarter, non-lethal solutions.

Pleased to share my first website blog!
We've seen great white sharks disappear in South Africa; whether down to orcas or something else. What effects do we see when this apex predator is lost? Well, a recent study answered it 🦈

A tagged white shark just died on a drumline in a Marine Protected Area.
Outrage followed. But now we need action.
Please sign the petition to end lethal shark control in South Africa. It’s time for science-backed, non-lethal alternatives.

A tagged white shark has died after being caught on a drum line managed by @KznSharks.
Thanks to Mongabay for covering this. I have written again to @DrDionGeorge to ask for an end to this deadly activity. It’s time for science-based, non-lethal solutions news.mongabay.com/short-article/…

@DrBladeNzimande maybe you can reason with @environmentza on this. Just read the research confirming @KZNSharksBoard responsible for highest white shark catches. It's ignorant to continue to use these methods.

A white shark tagged just weeks ago by Dr Alison Towner & Dr Alison Kock was just killed on a #drumline managed by @KZNSharksBoard. These outdated devices aren't mitigation—they're execution. @EnvironmentZA @DrDionGeorge our MPAs must protect, not destroy. We need urgent reform.

Say what you will about gulls, but they really are quite clever!
NEXTA@nexta_tv
In Turkey, a seagull has learned to meow in order to get cat food The unusual behavior of the bird was triggered by a nearby machine that dispenses food for stray animals. The seagull stands by the device and "meows" to attract the attention of passersby. According to locals, it "subtly" hints that it would be nice to press the button and dispense a portion of food. As passersby joke, the seagull has figured out that being a cat is much more profitable.

Amazing read @CooperPalaeo! Well done 🙏🏻

Out today: my article for @guardian! In 2017, 2 orcas started killing great white sharks in South Africa. Here's the whole story so far & how the effects could be a grim reflection of the future of sharks under the much bigger threat of overfishing! 🦈 theguardian.com/environment/20…

Honoured to be featured in @guardian's Age of Extinction series 🌊 Thanks @CooperPalaeo for this thought-provoking article on Port & Starboard orcas, highlighting the trophic cascade caused by the disappearance of white sharks from #southafrica hot spots theguardian.com/environment/20…

@SharkDevocean this shark was wrapped on a fishers line while he was targeting kob off the south coast of South Africa. Some of its dermal denticles came off (last pic). Thankfully it swam away strong, but I've been trying to ID it. Do you think it might be an Echinorhinidae? 🤔

In case any fellow 🦈 nerds have missed this, we now have evidence of orcas solo-hunting white sharks in 🇿🇦! The culprit being Starboard of the infamous Port & Starboard duo. Excellent paper by @AlisonTowner1 et al, including fellow Scot @Shark_buff 😁 doi.org/10.2989/181423…
