During oil exploration conducted off the coast of Mexico, thousands of sharks were observed gathering simultaneously and migrating en masse. The event was recorded by cameras from a special-purpose aircraft.
The editorial staff reports that marine biologists have described these images as a “rare and difficult-to-explain natural phenomenon.” Experts have stated that while such large gatherings are usually associated with feeding or breeding seasons, this time the reason is not entirely clear.
Currently, ecological and scientific investigations related to the incident are ongoing. Research teams are also evaluating the impact of oil exploration activities on the marine ecosystem.
