"The hunting strategies of pelagic thresher sharks (Alopias pelagicus) were investigated at Pescador Island in the Philippines. It has long been suspected that thresher sharks hunt with their scythe-like tails but the kinematics associated with the behaviour in the wild are poorly understood.

Matthew David Kaplan on Instagram: "The most amazing encounter — one of the ocean’s most elusive predators, the pelagic thresher shark, glides straight toward us before veering off over the reef. Thresher sharks are deep-sea hunters, typically found at depths of 150 to 500 meters. Yet here in Malapascua, they rise from the depths to visit Kimud Shoal, a cleaning station uniquely positioned near deep water. This allows them to rid themselves of parasites before disappearing once more into the aby

Infiniti Liveaboard Kimud Shoal in the Philippines is a well-known site for observing thresher sharks, specifically the pelagic thresher shark (Alopias pelagicus). This species of thresher shark is known for its unusually long tail, which it uses to stun its prey, and is typically found in deep waters. However, at Kimud Shoal, they can be seen much shallower, often swimming around the cleaning stations where cleaner fish remove parasites and dead skin from their bodies. 05.02.2023 -1 Kimud Shoal
