A new study uses a GoPro and computer models to confirm why great white sharks attack and bite humans swimmers unprovoked.
“Great white sharks are often portrayed as ‘mindless killers’ and ‘fond of human flesh.’ However, this does not seem to be the case, we just look like their food,” Laura Ryan, a neurobiologist at Macquarie University in Australia and lead author of the study, toldDespite their less-than-stellar vision and subpar spatial perception, great white sharks are highly visual creatures, and rely on motion and shadows when on the lookout for prey.
. “Specifically, I thought swimmers might not be as similar as a surfer to a seal as they typically aren’t involved in as many shark bites. However, the swimmers were also difficult to tell apart from a seal.”
