Last October we were privy to see some fascinating Tiger Sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier) when sailing with the awesome crew of Monkey Mia’s Shotover. This seems a redundant comment to make when Shark Bay is renowned for it’s big population of those undiscerning predators, but whenever they got close to the boat shivers of excitement ran through the crowd. Imagine how the plethora of sharks feeding on the carcass of a humpback whale off Steep Point last Friday must have left the people on those two boats in awe! The shared footage is filmed with a drone by Eco Albrolhos – please watch the final part of the clip and be convinced that a GoPro is a handy tool in those situations.

Tiger Shark Feeding Frenzy
Goodness, now there’s a spot you wouldn’t want to go waterskiing!
Ha, that would be like fishing on the mudbanks of the iSimangaliso swamps! Sometimes you have to know when to stay away from trouble.
And here the trouble comes with a couple hundred very sharp cutting tools! 😀
