SHARKS
For anyone who wants either to film
or study great white sharks, Australian expert, Rodney Fox, is the first contact. Fox knows exactly (1)
the sharks will be at different times of the year; and can even predict (2)
they will behave around blood, divers and other sharks. He understands them as well as (3)
else alive. In fact, he’s lucky to be alive; a “great white” once (4)
to bite him in half.
Three decades (5)
this near-fatal attack, Fox still carries the physical scars, but feels (6)
hate for his attacker. Instead, he organises three or four trips (7)
year to bring scientists and photographers to the kingdom of the great white shark. (8)
main aim of these trips is to improve people’s understanding of an animal (9)
evil reputation has become an excuse for killing it.
Great white sharks are not as amusing as dolphins and seals, (10)
their role in the ocean is critical. They kill off sick animals, helping to prevent the spread (11)
disease and to maintain the balance in the ocean’s food chains. Fox feels a responsibility to act (12)
a guardian of great white sharks. (13)
the scientists, film makers and photographers can communicate their sense of wonder (14)
other people, he is confident that understanding (15)
replace hatred.
