A team from Massey University in New Zealand and other institutions were on an expedition in the Southwest Pacific where they deployed an underwater camera attached to a bait canister at several locations. At most stops on their route, shark sightings were low, possibly pointing toward overfishing. But when the scientists reviewed the video recorded off Rangitāhua, or Kermadec Islands, they saw a great white shark pick up the whole apparatus, pausing to try to bite through the bait can. Even more remarkable, great white sharks are a rarity at the location, a positive note for the end of the expedition.
