Behavior - Lévy flights
I wanted to leave a note about Lévy flights, but I didn't see a behavior section. Perhaps this should be assembled? ᛭ LokiClock (talk) 08:41, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

And an on-topic note... sharks have eyes. Also, they have numerous other senses. So how could Levi flights be relevant here? This species of shark likes to follow tuna, so even if it is confirmed that it displays this motion, how do you know that its not just following the tuna schools levi flight or brownian motion? In nature, and with the senses the shark has, im sure there will always be a smell or sight or sound or whatever sensory information that will be more interesting for the shark than to follow levi flight or brownian motion, even if it only stays within water that is in the appropriate temperature range for this species. 79.230.51.101 (talk) 00:50, 13 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Having senses - including vision - does not preclude an animal from using Levy flight as a strategy to find prey. Rlendog (talk) 13:49, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

just a random note, hoping that someone sees this and fixes it. the picture linked in this article showing the tunas is upside down. This is why it looks so strange. I noticed because of the upside down dolphin in the picture, okay dolphins do this, but the apparently random bubbles near the bottom left of the picture that turn into a view of the surface of the water from below if you rotate the picture by 180 degrees prove it. Also, tuna normally do not swim upside down, maybe in the gulf of mexico they now do, but this is a temporary phenomenon due to the oil spill and its increased toxicity because of the dispersants, which are themselves toxic and allow the oil to get into tissues which would normally be safe against oil because they are hydrophilic, like gills. 79.230.55.182 (talk) 00:38, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, definitely upside down, the uploader could probably change it.--NYMFan69-86 (talk) 02:48, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
