2019-04-19 | Great White Sharks Flee From Killer Whales - The Atlantic
'For almost 15 years, Salvador Jorgensen from the Monterey Bay Aquarium has been studying great white sharks off the coast of California. '
'The great white shark—a fast, powerful, 16-foot-long torpedo that’s armed to the teeth with teeth—has little to fear except fear itself. '
'Underwater receivers, moored throughout Californian waters, detected these signals as the sharks swam by, allowing the team to track their whereabouts over time. '
'When the sharks approached, the team would shoot them with electronic tags that periodically emit ultrasonic signals. '
'In 2009, the team tagged 17 great whites, which spent months circling Southeast Farallon Island and picking off the local elephant seals. '
