crag 0 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Amazing stuff, thanks for sharing Rocknev.I think Id want a extra gusset in the wet suit before I sat its head in my lap though. Must remember next time I get visited by one ,just give him a little scratch on the nose and all will be sweet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just Me 0 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 That's a really nice vid mate. Thanks for posting.Inspired me to read some more about the lady, Cristina Zenato."Cristina’s love of exploration and caving is inspiring, yet it pales when it comes to Sharks. Cristina has a natural ‘gift’, some would say, with Sharks. Practicing a little known technique of rubbing and manipulating her fingers across the ampullae of Lorenzini, the visible dots [electro-receptive sensory organs] all around a shark’s head and face, she induces a tonic immobility. To the observer, this looks like a shark falling asleep right in her lap. Last fall a Blue shark appeared to fall asleep in her hands, on the surface. As she caressed the beautiful ten foot ocean traveler, the fact that she had no chain-mail suit on this occasion never seemed to cross her mind.Her ability to work with several types of shark in this manner has allowed her to study up close, in the wild, with no stress from the usual hooks, gaffs, and undue pain some shark researchers have used to gather data. In fact the sharks at her home in the Bahamas almost seem to know her for her gentle spirit, and warm to her touch. Guests are on occasion, encouraged to feel the shark’s skin while in this calm state. This in turn gives visiting divers on the Shark Dive at UNEXSO the chance to dissolve any misconceptions or preconceptions they may have had about shark life. She teaches divers who are interested, to feed the local Caribbean Reef sharks by hand, hoping to bring people closer to understanding the secret world of these creatures."
