Scientists say that it appears the sharks are out there to feast on the abundant amount of squid and small fish in the region. The area where the sharks flock to was referred to as the oceanic version of the Sahara desert. Researchers last fall used equipment to monitor the sharks’ movement and found sharks taking unusually deep dives – up to 3,000 feet – and also noticed male sharks behaved differently from females. Male sharks moved up and down the water in what was described as a V-shape, and swam in the formation up to 140 times a day. “What we’ve learned through the progression of our research is that this mid-water layer is extremely important for white sharks,” he said.
