Think about <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold" data-mce-style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">top predators</span> in the ocean. Something at the apex of the food chain, that swims wherever it wants and truly <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold" data-mce-style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">rules</span> the sea. What comes to mind? Most people would answer <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:
bold" data-mce-style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">sharks</span>. Maybe even great white sharks. Yet if we boil down every piece of information that scientists understand about the iconic great white shark it would comprise only a <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold" data-mce-style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">few short sentences</span> describing how white sharks move (in some places), a few ideas about what they might eat (in some places), and where they might have nursery habitat for their young (you guessed it, only in some places). That is all we know about the world-renowned great white shark. We have no generalizable knowledge about what they eat or their feeding behaviors, no knowledge of where they go to mate or to breed, and absolutely no answers to “why” they do almost anything. How do they navigate? Which habitats do they use, when and why? Does their diet change as they get older/bigger? The list of questions goes on and on. And remember this is the state of the art for <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold" data-mce-style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">great white sharks</span>, a name that almost anyone recognizes. <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold" data-mce-style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Our lack of knowledge is far more<b> </b>profound for<b> </b>almost all other shark species.<b> </b></span></span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Tahoma;
