Show Notes
New research reveals bull sharks form complex social bonds, challenging the notion of them as solitary predators. A study tracking 184 sharks over six years at Fijis Shark Reef Marine Reserve found adults build core networks, with younger ones hanging back. Both males and females prefer same-sex company and similar-sized partners. Males have more connections. Younger sharks avoid adults likely to be prey, while older ones may not need as much socializing. This suggests shark societies similar to other species, with more research needed to understand hunting, cooperation, and mating behaviors.
