    Big shark........

  • Reviewed by jaybirdlynch on May 12 2009, 10:54am

    After half a century of searching, scientists have finally discovered what happens to the world's second largest shark every winter: It has a Caribbean hideout. "Like most large fish, they're difficult to keep track of because they rarely come to the surface, where tags need to be to transmit information to satellites. Skomal got around this hurdle by harpooning the fish with special tags that tracked and stored depth, temperature and light level, which then popped off at a pre-programmed date and rose to the surface. Once a tag hits the surface, it transmits the entire archive of the fish's journey via satellite. "

" I tell ya what, the special tags that store the information and then "pop off" at pre-programmed dates, float to the surface, and send info to satellites - completely blow my mind - more than the fascinating creature itself.

    Here's a creature that, even in these times, is mysterious and relatively unknown to humanity. We're only now discovering where they disappear to, and we still are mostly clueless about their reproductive habits. (According to the article at least.) It's still a big wondrous world out there.
