@the.abyss.archives: In Predator, Arnold hid from heat vision under cold mud. White sharks don't even need the mud. A white shark's gut can run up to 14°C warmer than the water around it, but a thermal camera reads only the top hundredth of a millimeter of the sea, so underwater it disappears. It shows only where it breaks the surface, or lifts its head against something warmer. In October 2018 a whale-watch boat found a 60-foot fin whale drifting 7 miles off Barnstable Harbor with two white sharks on it, one about 18 feet long. October and November are some of the busiest shark months off the Cape. Watch the big one come in at 0:04, and the whale's tail end at 0:25. Tow it away from the beaches, or let the sharks finish? 👇 #abyssarchives #capecod #greatwhite #thermalcamera #whale AI-generated scene.
