Scientists have discovered that bull sharks form lasting social bonds, challenging previous assumptions about their behavior.

State experts explain that the extreme marine heat wave baking the Pacific Ocean likely prompted baby white sharks to arrive in February, at least a month earlier than normal, and that older and bigger sharks are now starting to follow.

In recent years, using drones for wildlife research has proven to be a valuable tool in collecting data for population surveys, observing behavior and measuring animals' physical dimensions. A new study led by Murdoch University has found that drones flown above the ocean are unlikely to disturb whale sharks,

For decades, sharks have been cast as the ultimate solitary predators — cold, instinct-driven “killing machines” that roam the ocean alone. Species like the bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas) were long thought to interact only to mate or compete.
