Great white shark breakthrough as predator ‘social club’ discovered off Mexico

According to new research published in the journal Biology Letters, a group of tagged great whites were observed to form tight cliques during the 2017 and 2018 seasons.

In these social clubs, the sharks liked to patrol for food together, sometimes spending more than an hour together.

One shark in particular, spent a whopping 70 minutes with others, the longest the researchers found.

Lead study author Yannis Papastamatiou, a marine scientist at Florida International University, said: “Most associations were short, but there were sharks which we found considerably longer associations, much more likely to be social associations.
