Researchers monitored nearly 300 sharks over the course of more than four years.
For the study, a team of scientists led by Stephan Leu from Macquarie University in New South Wales, Australia, examined white sharks that frequently gather in large numbers at a site in the Neptune Islands—located off Australia's southern coast. This area, near a seal nursery, lays claim to hosting the largest aggregation of great whites in the country.
"Rather than just being around randomly, the sharks formed four distinct communities, which showed that some sharks were more likely to use the site simultaneously than expected by chance," Leu said in a statement. "Our findings show that white sharks don't gather just by chance, but more research is needed to find out why."This is not the first evidence that has emerged recently of white sharks interacting. Earlier this year, researchers captured fascinating footage ofGreg Skomal from the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries previously toldthat this video was the first time anyone from his organization had seen social interaction between white sharks.
