Two great white sharks swim beneath the water’s surface near Guadalupe Island, Mexico
Scientists have discovered a great white shark social club in the clear blue waters of Guadalupe Island, off the western coast of Mexico. New research discovered that a group of tagged great whites formed tight cliques during the 2017 and 2018 seasons. They preferred to patrol for food with close buddies or in same-sex pairs, sometimes spending more than an hour swimming together. One pair astonished scientists by spending 70 minutes swimming together. Lengthy interactions like these are likely social associations and not random.
