flying sharks!
the first time i saw them on the discovery/bbc planet earth series i couldn’t believe my eyes.
as a shark aficionado from childhood, i was surprised that i had never heard of the phenomenon and became an instant fan.
however, i never imagined they could fly so high and wreak so much havoc.
not clear to me whether the explosions are caused by the sharks or are indicative of efforts to thwart their attack.
either way, truly aspirational/inspirational stuff…
thanks tony.

Excerpt from “Sarah “Frodo” Palin and the Cancer School of Economics” by Bill Cuscack
Nature, in fact, places the most severe limits on animals and their behavior to make sure they stay balanced. Sharks don’t have a “stop eating” mechanism in their biological blueprint. Under normal conditions sharks can’t catch food fast enough to do themselves damage from over-eating. Nature has limited their ability to catch food. A shark in a feeding frenzy, however, given enough food, will eat until it quite literally bursts open like an overstuffed sausage. Its guts just explode out into the water. In some cases crazed, gut-busted sharks eat their own entrails, unable to distinguish between their innards and their kill.
