U.S. scientists subdue a 6-meter ocean beast - "man eating shark" for marine research

According to the daily mail of July 20, a team of marine scientists from the Research Laboratory of the University of Miami in the United States, boldly captured the hammerhead shark and had a close contact with this marine beast known as "man eating shark". Christine Shepard, a wildlife photographer with the team, recorded the whole process with a camera.

In the wonderful photos of the group's actions, the team members were lucky to catch a 20 foot (about 6 meters) long hammerhead shark. After subduing the fierce marine hunter, they took blood samples from its tail, made a series of measurements on it, and put satellite tracking tags on it to facilitate future tracking research. In addition, the team stroked the hammerhead shark and finally put it back into the sea.

Austin Gallagher, the team's lead researcher, said the study found that the hammerhead shark has become a particularly vulnerable marine species in the region due to the rise of the fishing industry. They hope to find sustainable solutions to protect hammerhead sharks and other marine life.
