• This is a picture of a shark called Faye who was around at the Neptunes in 2006. She had some very significant damage from what looks to be a hook, or other object being stuck in her mouth. She has a pronounced scar that makes her look like she is grinning, and had some other injuries consistent with being caught. Here at the Fox Shark Research Foundation, we have a number of photos of fisheries interaction injuries, as well as sharks caught in ropes, plastic strapping etc. (see related pics on this site or visit www.sharkfoundation.com). We are underway with a study to analyse the last 10 years worth of photos we have for human-inflicted injuries in white sharks and their wound healing ability.
