This time on the Shark Task Force, an update on Emma the Tiger Shark - and shark diving in the Bahamas.  Diving with Tiger Sharks takes a lot of knowledge on how to scuba dive. The other thing about diving with Tiger Sharks in the Bahamas, is that they largely repeat the same pattern, so you can almost predict where the shark will be. Of course that gets more interesting when you have a lot of sharks. As for Emma the Tiger Shark, I asked AI what it knows about her: "Emma the tiger shark is one of the most remarkable animals in the ocean. She belongs to a species that can grow up to 5 meters long and weigh over 900 kilograms. Emma has been tracked by scientists for over a decade, and she has shown remarkable intelligence and curiosity. She often approaches divers and boats, sometimes even nudging them gently with her nose. She also has a distinctive pattern of stripes and scars on her body, which makes her easy to identify. Emma is a valuable source of information for researchers who want to learn more about the behavior and ecology of tiger sharks, which are often misunderstood and feared by humans."
