Shark Attack - Cam Girl Bitten off Florida Coast

She started off all cheery in the beginning - then crying later at the end. That's what you get when you go in a cage like that in shark infested waters...

Camsoda model Molly Cavalli was bitten while broadcasting from a shark cage.

In Camsoda’s first live underwater broadcast attempt, Molly Cavalli jumped into a shark cage off the coast of Florida.
The underwater broadcast had to be cut short when Molly’s foot stuck out of the cage and was bitten by a lemon shark. Don’t worry though, Molly is doing just fine. She had to get 20 stitches but she is in good spirits and grateful for her quick recovery.

First pioneered with POV guy, Camsoda has been working on a mobile hardware solution that allows models to broadcast from anywhere in the world. The custom built hardware was recently upgraded to support go-pro cameras and underwater live feeds.

Watch: Great White Shark Feasts on Dead Whale | National Geographic

Whoa! Talk about an all you can eat buffet...

See a great white shark binge eat a dead humpback whale.
Filmed off the coast of southern California, the shark feasted on the whale for more than 18 hours. Famous for their prowess as predators, little is known about their more docile scavenging behaviors. They have been observed regurgitating already eaten food to make room for more calorically rich meat. While sharks have frequently been observed hunting, scavenging is less often seen.

Lionfish Are a Plague. Can Training Sharks to Eat Them Work?

We had no idea they were such a pest. The fish itself was quite fascinating to learn about...

Lionfish, which are native to the Indo-Pacific but were accidentally introduced to the Caribbean, are decimating native fish species. To help limit their damage, scientists are teaching sharks to prey on them.

Watch: Man Straddles Shark On Beach to Save It | National Geographic

A man and his friends were fishing at Jensen Beach in Florida when they spotted a blacktip shark that seemed to be caught in something. Fortunately for the shark, the beachgoers pulled it from the surf and removed a fishing line and hook from its body. Blacktip sharks migrate to Florida’s warmer waters in the winter. They’re around six feet long and often have encounters with humans since they hang out in shallow waters. Nonetheless, most incidents have involved minor bite wounds and there have been no known fatalities. Blacktip sharks are listed as “near threatened” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature due to commercial and recreational fishing.

Killer Whales Attack a Shark

... and it was all captured on drone...

A group of about 25 offshore killer whales eat a shark in Monterey Bay on Dec. 13, as seen from a drone camera. 

The moment a pod of rare offshore killer whales tear a shark apart has been captured in amazing drone footage recorded in California’s Monterey Bay.
Slater Moore was on a boat with Monterey Bay Whale Watch on Tuesday when he spotted a rare glimpse of the offshore killer whales mid-feast, something the whales normally do deep underwater. 

Two adult females can be seen with their calves feasting on the “squirming” shark. The feeding appears to be a teaching moment for the young whales with the adult letting go of their catch so the others can have some. 

“We saw about 25 individuals and I was even able to get footage of them feeding on a Sevengill Shark with the drone,” Moore said. “These whales are typically smaller in size than the Bigg's or transient killer whale type and they had several very young calves with them.” 

“All of a sudden one of them brought it up, brought up the whole shark,” Katlyn Taylor, a marine biologist who was on the boat said. “And it was still alive, it was squirming around.”

Monterey County Weekly

“Rarely seen offshore-type killer whales pass around a large sevengill shark, likely teaching their very young calves how to hunt sharks,” Monterey Bay Whale Watch wrote on its Facebook page. 

“They’re kinda tricky animals to study,” Taylor says. “They hold their breath a long time, they swim really fast, they travel way offshore. That’s part of the fun though, you never know what’s going to happen.”
