Talk: "Sharks"
Sharks have inhabited our planet for about 400 million years, that is, long before the dinosaurs. Why do they still survive? How did they reach perfection? What are the secrets of these animals?
No wonder they fascinate us so much. Lawrence Wahba has made more than 1000 free dives with sharks of more than 100 species, among them the dreaded great white shark, tiger and flathead. What did you learn from them? What does it feel like to be face to face with a great white shark without a protective cage? Why do attacks happen in Recife? What happened at the famous meeting of a white shark with surfer Mick Finning in front of the TV cameras around the world?
This lecture is light and entertaining, but it brings lessons about adaptability, focus, sixth sense, efficiency, evolution, and survival.
At university events or focused on the public with more technical interest, Lawrence deepens the biological and behavioral aspects of sharks.
