Abstract: Scientists studied how thresher sharks use “extreme yoga” to whip their tails at prey.
Lead Paragraph:
When a thresher shark attacks, it doesn’t lunge in teeth-first. Instead, it approaches a school of fish, lowers its head, flexes its body and thwaps its whiplike tail over its head. The smack of the thresher’s tail stuns a few unlucky fish, which the shark then gobbles up.
