Yes, we’ve all heard the song “baby shark, do do do do do” but do you know what little ninjas these baby sharks can be? It turns out they are incredible escape artists and science is only just finding out the why and how behind their incredible manouvers. 4ZZZ's intrepid reporter, Anita Diamond interviewed Professor Jodie Rummer, who conducted a study looking into how these baby sharks swim to avoid predator attacks.
