Canberra: A 30-foot-long inflatable boat was sunk by 40-centimeter-sized cookiecutter sharks off the coast of Australia. On Wednesday, a small boat traveling from the eastern Australian city of Cairns to the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu was attacked.
Two Russians and a French citizen were on the boat
Travelers. On Monday, the forward air chamber on the left side of the boat was breached by several cookie cutter sharks. With that, the boat started sinking into the sea.
On Tuesday, cookiecutter sharks also attacked the left side of the boat. With this the boat started sinking completely. Soon the passengers on the boat alerted the nearby ships. A cargo ship passing by this way rescued the passengers of the boat.
Although small in size, cookiecutter sharks are dangerous in nature. Also known as cigar sharks, they average only 42 to 56 cm in length.
But their method is to make circular holes in the bodies of sea creatures like whales, seals, sharks, and stingrays that are more than twice their size and bite the meat inside. They are characterized by a round mouth full of teeth. It bites the victim’s body with its sharp teeth.
Their attack is like a biscuit cutter. Cookie cutter sharks are a threat not only to marine life but also to ships and boats. They attack submarines, fishing nets and submarine cables.
During the 1970s, several American submarines were attacked by them. At first it was thought that the submarines were destroyed by unknown weapons. But later the researchers discovered that the cookiecutter sharks were behind.
In the 1980s, more than 30 submarines were reportedly attacked by cookiecutter sharks.
Cucumber sharks also have the most bioluminescence (a phenomenon in which light is produced through chemical reactions) among sharks.
