Вот такой симпатичный орляк(орляковый скат)/eagle ray встретился во время снорклинга на пляже West Bay острова Roatan. Не зря маску и камеру с собой таскаю 😄. На Мальдивах скат был побольше, зато у этого расцветка мне больше нравится.

Why do female great #HammerheadSharks gather every summer in French #Polynesia? https://phys.org/news/2023-09-female-great-hammerhead-sharks-summer.html

"They were not able to find any single factor, but they have theories. The 1st is that the #sharks are simply following ocellated #EagleRays which mate in the same #atoll. Such #rays are a food source for the sharks. The 2nd involves the #moon—peak numbers of sharks coincided with a #FullMoon. This makes it easier to spot prey at night."
A large international team of marine scientists are trying to solve the mystery of why a large group of female hammerhead sharks have gathered in two French Polynesian atolls every summer of over the past decade. In their paper published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science, the team describes their study of the sharks and discusses their theories on why they congregate.
