Hi Abraham and Pupils!
Wow, what a fantastic email to receive and know that the news of our very special Great white sharks are not only reaching you in New Zealand but are also motivating you all to write some great blogs on a very special animal.
We know that we are extremely privileged to be able to work with sharks on a daily basis and not only do we make the most of every moment with them, but we love to share our experiences with people who do not have the same opportunities that we do.
Let us start by saying that we have already seen Colossus once this year, on 21 May. He is now around 4 meters in length, a very big shark indeed! And he is looking in great condition.
Last year we saw him twice in July, both on hunting events.
When the sharks are hunting they do come across as being aggressive as they have to hunt very difficult prey to catch, the seals are extremely agile and fast in the water. You may find it interesting that when we see the sharks around the boat they are usually very calm and curious animals so it is great to get a different perspective on them once they slowdown from hunting and conserve energy. There are many different sides to the Great white sharks and working with them allows us to get to know them intimately.
Chris has had a passion for wildlife since he was a child. He never had any doubt that he would one day work with animals and by following his heart and passion his path led him to Great white sharks. It’s a great lesson for all of you out there, once you find you passion, no matter what it is, follow your heart and you can accomplish great things.
We wish you all the best of luck, keep writing on subjects that interest you and we hope that you will one day get to see a great white shark!
Best wishes
Chris & Monique
