Meet the Elusive Thresher Shark - The Master of Underwater Tail Slaps!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, renowned underwater photographer Kurt Amsler captures a rare sight - KA-599, also known as the Thresher or Foxtail Shark. This magnificent creature usually resides in depths over 200 meters and is seldom spotted by lucky divers. Ranging from an impressive 16.5 to 20 feet long, the Common Thresher Shark boasts an elongated tail that it skillfully uses to corral its favorite meals - squid and fish! With lightning-fast slaps from its tail, it stuns its prey before capturing them with its sharp but small teeth. Sadly, these incredible sharks are facing a decline in numbers due to overfishing. They are hunted for their meat and fins, making conservation efforts crucial for their survival. Found in the Eastern & Western Atlantic, Central Pacific, and Indo-west Pacific regions, this elusive shark continues to mesmerize marine enthusiasts worldwide. So dive into this extraordinary print and let your imagination swim alongside KA-599 as it gracefully navigates through the deep sea waters of both the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean. Don't forget to admire those stunning tails that make these creatures truly one-of-a-kind!
