EDITORS COMMENTS
Meet the Elusive Thresher Shark: A Master of Underwater Martial Arts!". In this photo print, we catch a rare glimpse of KA-592, also known as the Thresher or Foxtail Shark. With its sleek body and elongated tail, this deep-sea dweller is truly a force to be reckoned with. Standing at an impressive 16.5 to 20 feet long, it's no wonder why this magnificent creature rarely graces us with its presence. Feeding on squid and fish, the Thresher Shark utilizes its unique hunting technique. Using its elongated tail like a whip, it corrals its prey before stunning them with powerful slaps from it. And let's not forget about those small but razor-sharp teeth that make quick work of any unfortunate victim. Unfortunately, these incredible sharks are facing a decline in numbers due to overfishing for their meat and fins. It's crucial that we protect these majestic creatures and preserve their natural habitats in the Eastern & Western Atlantic, Central Pacific, and Indo-west Pacific regions. So dive into the depths of our oceans through Kurt Amsler's lens and marvel at the beauty of nature's underwater warrior - The Common Thresher Shark! But remember folks; admire them from afar because they're definitely not interested in commercial use. . . or your swimming skills!
