    In Bimini, Bahamas a team of experts are hoping to entice a couple sharks to test if they can detect magnetic fields. What intrigued you most about this experiment?

    If the sharks began to get agitated and aggressive around the magnets, perhaps that's why they start going into hunting mode every time they move around volcanic islands. Because they know that the nutrient rich water will hold lots of prey, good for them. Which is why they started behaving a bit out of tune after exposure to the magnets.

      @Lilac Joan that's our theory. But we really never know the reason.
      And it applies too to all organism.
      We're human. We don't really know much about them. We just make theory about them from human's perspective.
      Edit: I mean.. Hammerhead shark is one of the shark species that live in tropical region, right? Reef region is not flat. They're rocky. Full with anemones and corals. And also urchins and stuff like that.

  • @GrowingDownUnder
    @GrowingDownUnder Před 3 lety

    Electricity creates magnetism and sharks can sense electricity with their electrical receptors and that's probably what senses the magnetism too. I think they use it more to hunt by tracking bio-electricity in animals. But it's even more possible that they are sensing telluric currents and they navigate with telluric currents in the same way that bee's & birds do
