06.01.2022 When most folks think of sharks that are spectacular jumpers, they immediately think mako shark. While they are well known for amazing acrobatics, they aren’t t...he only one. Here’s a great photo of one of the sharks we are doing two research projects on, the thresher shark. They are beautiful sharks and when they leverage their tail, which is as long as the rest of their body, the sky is the limit! See more
