Nicolas Remy (Australia) records the moment a crested hornshark snatches a Port Jackson shark egg for a meal.
Nicolas makes regular dives to document Port Jackson sharks.
Approaching from a distance, he spotted a young crested hornshark. It was holding a corkscrew-shaped object – a Port Jackson shark egg – in its mouth.
Nicolas wanted to take a photograph that was about the egg as much as the shark. Using a wide-angle lens and two low-power flashes, Nicolas watched as the hornshark squeezed the nutritious yolky meal from its distinctive packaging.
The shape of the Port Jackson shark egg allows it to be wedged securely into tight, well-hidden spaces. Despite this, up to 90% of these nutritious eggs are taken before they hatch, by crested hornsharks and other fish.
