That's hardly a surprise, since sharks spend most of their time out of sight of human observers. Thanks largely to increasingly sophisticated electronics, though, scientists are finally opening a window on the life history of the shark...
...make reasonable but vague assertions like Fordham's more rigorous, for example, marine biologist Chris Lowe, a colleague of Meyer's at the University of Hawaii, has developed an ingenious way to measure the role of one shark, the hammerhead, in a well-defined environment. Every year thousands of hammerhead pups are born in Kaneohe Bay, on the east shore of Oahu. (About 40% of shark species lay eggs; the rest bear live young, and some of these carry their young just as mammals do, with an umbilical cord connecting the fetus to the uterus.)
