An Azerbaijani photographer who loves sharks recently took a photo of Zhang Zhengui. In the film, a female shark has a huge tooth scar near her gills, and the semicircular wound is quite deep. The photographer said that this may be the scar left by the "forced mating" between the male shark and the female shark.
Photographer Jalil Najafov recorded many precious pictures of sharks in his Instagram account. One of them was that he photographed a female shark swimming beside him, but there was a horrible scar near the shark's gills. The wound is quite deep, and there are obvious tooth marks around it, which is obviously bitten by other sharks.
Najahov pointed out that this horrible wound should be left by the male shark during forced mating. In the season of shark mating, many female sharks will have this mating scar, which is caused by the male shark biting them tightly during mating.
Scientists have studied this fierce mating behavior, and such horrible scars will not only appear on females, but sometimes even males will be injured.

According to the Mirror165438+1October 7th, a photographer photographed a great white shark covered with scars near Neptune Islands in Australia, and netizens called it the most tenacious shark. Underwater photographer Dean Sprakman met this great white shark on a previous expedition. It is about 3.4 meters long and covered with scars. The great white shark swam calmly past the photographer. Dean said that he had never seen such a badly injured shark before.
At first they thought it might have been scratched by the propeller of the ship, but later explorer Yanis speculated that these scars might have been left when fighting with other sharks. Dean also said that he found scars on sharks during filming, but he didn't realize how long these scars were until he watched the video later.
