In South Africa’s Shark Week, 200 gallons of synthetic blood replicated real blood scent to attract great white sharks. Led by Dr. Greg Skomal, the experiment analyzed predatory behavior, feeding frenzy, and acute smell responses. Drones and underwater cameras captured footage, aiming to reduce shark-human interactions while advancing marine biology and conservation efforts.
