Thresher Sharks in Malapascua

Malapascua is the only place in the world where the magnificent thresher sharks can easily be seen on a daily basis, so come and see these amazing creatures in action! About Thresher Sharks The thresher shark, or Alopias pelagicus is a type of mackerel shark or Lamniformes. In German it is known as Der Gemeine Fuchshai, or fox shark. The threshers grow up to a length of 5-6 meters, about half of which is the huge scythe-like tail for which it is named. Thresher sharks normally live in deep water and are nocturnal (night creatures), so are not often seen by divers. Although they are seen occasionally in other locations around the world, we know of nowhere else they can be seen so regularly. They have very small, sharp teeth and very big eyes to see in the dark.They eat squid and schooling fish such as herring and mackerel and it is thought that they use their tails to "corral" the fish into denser schools. The tail may also be used to stun the fish.They will sometimes "breach" and can jump completely out of the water.
