Title: Shark Week on DC
Post by: MuggsyB on July 24, 2022, 10:01:17 PM

The focus tonight appears to be on Great Whites.  Where is Deep Blue?  Surprised she isn't featured.

Deep Blue swam from Mexico to Hawaii in 2020.  I don't think they have known her whereabouts for some time.  She could be angry about many things going on in the world.

From Wiki.
Predators
Young and smaller individuals may be eaten by larger sharks, such as the great white shark and the tiger shark. Killer whales have been reported to hunt blue sharks.[13] This shark may host several species of parasites. For example, the blue shark is a definitive host of the tetraphyllidean tapeworm, Pelichnibothrium speciosum (Prionacestus bipartitus). It becomes infected by eating intermediate hosts, probably opah (Lampris guttatus) and/or longnose lancetfish (Alepisaurus ferox).[14]

Northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) have been observed to feed on blue sharks.[15]
