Walking Shark Wants a Snack
Occurred on December 27, 2018 / Lady Elliot Island, Queensland, Australia
Info from Licensor: "I work as a marine biologist on Lady Elliot Island, on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. I was walking along the shore when I saw an Epaulette shark- these sharks can grow up to 1m and they can survive in extremely anoxic conditions, they are also known as the “ walking shark”. It used electroreceptors called ampullae of Lorenzini to detect this marine worm which it pulled out of the sand as a tasty treat!"
