Large Great White Shark Chases Drone Shadow Like a Laser Pointer

In this video, we take a look at various sharks reacting to the drone's shadow and examine what this tells us about their vision. The information gathered from this also helps me be mindful of where to fly the drone to avoid interfering with the sharks. Drone observations are vital to monitoring shark behavior but it seems the shadow, in certain conditions is the only thing that can affect the sharks natural movements.
