Off the coast of Brazil, in the tropical paradise of Fernando Do Noronha, swims a female lemon shark called Manoela. From early childhood to adulthood, her extraordinary senses allow her to detect scents, sounds, and even the tiny electric fields of her prey. In particular, she specializes in a hunting technique that has only ever been observed in this spot: hunting sardines in the waves. The confusion created in the sandy shores has given her species the local name, “papa-areia”—sand eaters! Catch the wave and swim among these clever hunters.
