A New York-based scientist captured a mesmerising video over the weekend that shows a spinner shark cruising through a massive school of fish from above.
“We need sharks,” he told The New York Times. “It shows a healthy ecosystem. We need the top predators as much as we need the menhaden. But that’s not a story that sells. People want the shark attack story.”
The 24 July clip, shot with a drone in Southampton, New York, comes from Christopher Paparo, who manages a marine lab at Stony Brook University and goes by the social media moniker The Fish Guy.

We do need the top predators (read about wolves and rebalancing in Yellowstone)

Lt Col Charlie Brown Predators (including man) are needed to keep checks and balances of live on our planet. I love wolves and one day I hope to make it out west where I can go see them in their natural habitat. Lt Col Charlie Brown Did you ever watch the documentary "Living with Wolves" by Jim and Jamie Dutcher? (Not sure on that spelling of that name, I am going by memory) Outstanding watch about a wolf family.
