Rare on-screen glimpse of critically endangered oceanic whitetip shark
The oceanic whitetip is one of the world’s most endangered sharks that has declined by 98% throughout the world after being hunted for its fins or mistakenly caught in fishing nets.
Around the Cayman Islands, where the species is protected, scientists have made a rare, on-screen catch of the shark using a special camera that measures biological information without having to touch the animal.
Known as a baited remote underwater.
