Once a year, thousands of grouper gather on a reef in French Polynesia to mate - attracting hundreds of sharks to this feeding bonanza. Scientists on the Global Reef Expedition were there studying the predatory behavior of reef sharks and watched as swarms of grey reef sharks attacked marbled grouper while they were spawning.
We brought a film crew along to capture the event for "Mysteries of the Coral Canyon," an award-winning documentary airing nationally on PBS this November. Watch sharks attack grouper (and each other) in this clip from the show.

Footage from this film was used to conduct the first study on the natural predatory behavior of grey reef sharks in the wild:

when the sharks are tearing that thing apart, swimming upward, I can't help but think, *so pretty!!!* XD
Excellent. Cela me rappelle un douloureux souvenir lorsque j'ai été mordu à la main par l'un de ces rairas à Rangiroa. Les prises de vues sont superbes.
Awesome😍
If I was a grouper I'd say to myself "to HELL with having sex, I'm OUTTA HERE!"
the RIP fish
Imagine that being you
I love the see
