DiscoveryTagging great white sharks just got way more sophisticated! 🦈 In the past, scientists would have to capture, hook, or handle a shark in order to tag it. In an effort to leave this practice behind, Dr. Neil Hammershlag created an air powered veterinary rifle, a tagging gun, equipped to tag great whites' dorsal fins without disrupting its world. Stay tuned for Invasion of the Mega Sharks when #SharkWeek returns Sunday at 8P on Discovery.
