I wanted to practice my listening
so I went to Ted.org and looked for a interesting video. I really like animal
documentaries so I was looking for a video about animals. Then I founded this
video about a surfer named Hamish Jolly, that wanted a wetsuit that would deter
a curious shark from mistaking him for food. A lot of
scientists went looking for a solution that would stop the shark attacks. They
needed a scientific breakthrough that would potentially save lives. So they
went to look for people that know a lot about shark vision and shark neurology.
They research led to the university of W.A. with the oceans institute. Professor
Nathan Hart and his team told them that predatory sharks see in black and
white. They were thinking about using these grey patterns and shapes to produce
a wetsuit that would descend the risk of a shark attack.

At the end they needed to test these suits. Of course they couldn't test this with humans so they perforated a large drum that was stuffed with a lot of bait and had the wetsuit around it. These drums were putted nearby a white or tiger shark and at a place where they could observe there reactions of the sharks on the wetsuits. After the tests they had an amazing result. The sharks didn't found the drum or where just not interested. So it was an amazing invention.
I hope it will stop the shark attacks so
more people could participate in surfing. And I think the wetsuits look also
very cool so it won't be a problem to wear them.
