A Great White Shark named “Baggers” is trying to check out a cage by biting it. Even though this shark has been around the cages for a few years and knows what they are, this day she decided to bite it. It was not an attack and it happened in slow motion. Normally if a shark bites a cage and realizes it’s made out of metal, it takes off like something is chasing it. Baggers stayed totally calm and slowly swam away.

Aluminum cages give off a slight current when immersed in salt water and that can cause sharks to investigate them. This was unusual, because usually it’s only sharks that are new and haven’t seen a cage before that do this. Baggers has been around the cages before and already knew what they are.

Why do sharks do what they do? After 19 years of diving with them, they still leave me with unanswered questions.
