Check out this article from National Geographic News. It is about conservation scientist Ram Bonfil and his work with great white sharks. For three years, Bonfil has been "hand-fitting South Africa's great whites with dorsal-fin satellite tags." That's right. Hand-fitting. The photos that go along with the article have some awesome shots of Bonfil straddling the sharks as they are lifted out of the water on a sort of shark-cradle.

In a related note, I just finished reading The Devil's Teeth by Susan Casey. If you are at all interested in sharks, especially great whites, this book is a must read. The Farallon Islands just jumped to the top of my "Places to Visit in the U.S." list. Yes, I really keep a list. Chicago is number 2. [via Dive South Africa]
