🚨🦈 New shark science! 🦈🚨 We observed a sexually mature male whale shark biting the caudal fin of a (likely juvenile) female whale shark. Biting is a pre-copulatory behaviour for many shark species, so this observation provides possible insights into the mating behaviours of this endangered species 🌊
