It's the rounder, more "derpy" face that gives it away (that's a technical term)... also note it actually looks like a rock 🤷🏼♀️ #science

Our SPOT tagged shark, Tasha, has also been making moves! Her tag expires after 180 days (July-early January), so hopefully she'll ping again soon. The great thing about M tags is they never expire, so we hope to receive recapture reports for these sharks for many years into the future.
