Turtles shake me to avoid the death of tiger sharks

During the encounter between the sea, the tiger shark seemed to be able to snuggle sea turtles and have a delicious meal but 'life is not like a dream', it constantly bites the gap so it has to abandon the hunt.

Frazer McGregor recorded the encounter between sea turtles and tiger sharks off Coral Bay town, west Australia.

In the video, sea turtles despite discovering tiger sharks are quietly approaching, but it does not seem to pay much attention to predators much more this time. As soon as sharks open their mouths with sharp teeth preparing to snatch their prey, the sea turtle gently flips its back to the enemy, causing the shark to hit the hard shell.

Without giving up, sharks continue to round up the prey to catch prey, but all fail with the 'defensive' tactics of sea turtles. Finally, after a few missteps, the great predator was forced to accept giving up and swim to find other prey to handle more easily.

Tiger sharks have extremely strong, sharp teeth, and if they bite at the right angle, they can bite the turtle shell. In 2014, Randall Arouz, founder of Pretoma Marine Conservation, once returned to a similar clash between tiger sharks and sea turtles on the Cocos Islands off Costa Rica.

According to Randall Arouz, tiger sharks are not always sure of the victory over sea turtles. Thanks to the swift response, sea turtles can sometimes avoid the enemy's scary bite, even taking the upper hand.

The strategy to help sea turtles survive is to keep the hard shells perpendicular to the shark jaw, making the tortoise shell harder to break. If unsuccessful, sea turtles will do the other thing: swimming in a circle close to the shark can make the opponent unable to get close. Meanwhile, the outcome of the hunt will depend on the shark's patience with the prey.
