At least nine oceanic whitetip sharks and five tiger sharks were spotted feeding on the carcass. The spectators on board observed the feeding event for 8.5 hours, spotting at least nine oceanic whitetip sharks and five tiger sharks. These sharks were potentially attracted to the scene by scraps and regurgitations left behind by the larger tiger sharks, according to the team. “There were between two and three humans in the water at all times filming more than 12 sharks feeding. None of the photographers reported any scary, aggressive, or harmful interactions with the sharks,” Scott concluded.
