Cuttlebone Bite Marks Point to a Shark Encounter in NSW Waters

A single bite mark on a cuttlebone offers a quiet but telling clue. Validated by researchers in NSW waters, this trace points to a shark encounter, not a dramatic attack, but a measurable interaction in the coastal food web. Such empirical evidence matters. It reminds us that ocean intelligence often emerges from the smallest details. For another example of how unexpected observations yield validated results, see our coverage of a citizen scientist's Maldives discovery and its confirmed cone snail identification.
