New research says sharks hunt like serial killers

A paper recently published in the Journal of Zoology says that great white sharks hunt in a highly focused fashion, just like serial killers.

According to a report on ScienceDaily.com, the researchers used geographic profiling—a criminal investigation tool used to find serial killers based on the locations of their crimes—to examine how the hunting patters of great white sharks off the coast of South Africa.

Sharks establish well-defined hunting bases in strategic locations. The researchers noticed that smaller sharks searched further, and had less success, than larger sharks. They surmised that great white sharks refined their search patterns with experience, and concentrated their hunting in locations with the highest probability of success.

For more information on the study, read Geographic profiling works: Great white sharks’ hunting skills as refined as Jack the Ripper’s.

    This is just too cathartic.

    The good news is they are gaining weight and their ass is getting bigger. They also have some serious wrinkles forming around their mouth; much like some over-worked sphincter.
    Disdain for all of humanity has its’ price.

    Oh I smelt the blue cheese alright (the one and only painting is of this?… and it also means NOTHING to you?… how odd?) but I did nothing… anyway, I’ll get off here now… and marvel at how hard I worked to ignore my insticts and natural cognition of what was in front of my face…sigh.

    Been there, done that.

    I see it receding in my rear view mirror at a rabid clip.

    DWR:
    I have book in the making…..I have thought over and over….how ironic it would be to be able to pull myself out of the financial mess on the information I have learned about him and other S’s……oh, how sweat….so I write away.
    I think you would do well with your writing….write on!
    Your’s sound like intellects, but you sound ON IT!
    Remember, as you pass that checkered flag with a few laps left in your race…..we will lose some of the battles…..it’s the war we must keep our eyes on!!!

    HECATES:
    I am not so sure we can ‘make a decision’ to stop any legal action……only because the minute we do, they start an attack that leaves us no choice to end up in court. Money or no money…..Sometimes we may be in danger with or without the court issues.
    That is a decision personal to all our lives. We do have decisions we Must make for personal protection!!!
    I personally have and continue to educate myself so if I need to self represent because of no money, I am as prepared as I can be to do this and hopefully successfully.
    I like to ‘head off’ problems and potential anxiety before it happens….so when it does…..I know I have a plan B,C, and D sometimes. My attorney says she will always be here for me…..but I have learned that I can only rely on myself……it saves my sanity and panic. So I continue down my path of education…..whatever I need educating on on any particular day/week/month.
    The worst that can come out of that is I have spent an immennse amount of time and have a whole lot more knowledge that I call on from time to time.
    Thank god for the internet and books and people in our positioins!!!!
    To answer your question on should you/shouldn’t you and how to?……
    I guess it depends on what’s at stake…..if this could eliminate him from your life and leave no ‘fingerprints’ on you…..I say….yeah…think about it…..
    I wouldn’t go through the internet or any other potential traceable route….for reporting…..
    You are ‘under’ control of yourself, so you are able to do this in a calculated and rational manner. This is why you ask the question…..
    I have become aware of persons getting a disposable phone, purchase a number from a payphone with a zip code of another area, under a random alias….this will give it a phone number assigned from this zip code with no traceable name……purchase a phone card (cash) at a convenience store out of your area, maybe have a friend buy one out of state and read you the numbers over the phone….(you don’t actually need the card) and place a call from this phone with *67 entered to hide the number first. If they trace it, it’s to a zip code and name as an alias….this is common. After you use the phone, take the battery out and the sim card and store it this way.
    Don’t know how far you want to go….but there is also devices to disguise your voice etc….Radio Shack/online they are everywhere.
    I would just report that ‘this’ certain person (the s’s name) may have information in regards to this crime.
    Plant seeds……
    You must remember, that the authorities do not seem super interested in working so hard to solve alot of current crimes and especially past.
    My experience has been (and I hope i am wrong), but it needs to be on a silver platter, admissable and in their faces to go after these S’s.
    I have information on my S that I have reported to every agency and not in secret, they have come to my home….certainly not incognitoe of me…..but I was seriious about reporting, cooperating and giving them everything I know….to date….nothing has been done!
    I made a decision I was not going to let the S intimidate me or his cronie proxies…..I stood tall…..I didn’t do the crimes…..I dont need to be quiet.
    But I completely understand others decisions to be afraid. It’s again, situational.
    So there is a way, and you need to decide the worth.
    (how sad that someones life is lost and it comes down to ‘worth’) It’s just another effect of the S’s on society!!!
    Good luck…your doing so well……stay strong and safe!!!

    Blueskies:
    SCUMBAG….huh…..Doctor who…..well he sure seemed to take notes on that…gotta give him some credit! 🙂
    Mine was a huckfin fan!

    Smelt is a type of fish.

    Smelled is what dogs do when they hook up at the park.

    Maybe they just have better instincts for detecting assholes than we do.
