- mshockwave 2mo agoor have little vision to begin with
- nly 2mo agoThey can...swim away
- everyone 2mo agoPerhaps they may not have an instinct to protect themselves / swim away from blinding lights?
- dredmorbius 2mo agoAnd might well swim toward light (as with, say, moths, sans swimming).
- pvaldes 2mo agoProbably, most sharks have nictitating membranes to protect the eye, but this family of sharks didn't evolved one apparently. In any case, they can avoid easily the light source swimming away.
- MomsAVoxell 2mo agoYes, there is an issue with exploration lights effecting native life. Recent attempts to capture a giant squid on video were only realized when they switched the lights off.
- everyone 2mo agoCould they use very low light cameras? or perhaps lights and cameras that dont operate in the visual range?
- MomsAVoxell 2mo agoThey used red light to capture the giant squid pictures ..
