Meaning these thugs murder creature after creature feeding their insatiable appetite. Sea otter… cute animal or mass murderer? ADAPTION OR UPRISING Sea otters spend a great deal of time floating on their backs at the surface, plotting and waiting for humans to slip. They move ferociously through water by paddling their hind limbs and sculling with their tails. For rapid swimming and for diving, they swim similarly to other otters, using up-and-down undulations of the body.
However just before the 4th of July weekend (the busiest week of the year), a great white shark begins a series of random attacks on those who venture out onto and into the water. One of the techniques used in the opening scene to create the film’s ominous atmosphere is the contrasting use of music and diegetic sound. The film immediately unsettles the viewer by opening on a completely black screen, the audience hearing nothing except the sound effects of marine life. The credits then open onto an underwater scene shot from the shark’s point of view. (This informs the viewer that water/sea will play a key role in the film.)
Apart from a small twist in this book (a hungry fifty foot shark) it is safe to declare that Steve Alten's "Meg" is just the same as any other science fiction paperback. In order to save the world, Professor Jonas Taylor, our brave scientist, confronts the Megalodon in a one-man sub. He is quickly swallowed whole along with a couple whales here and there. Once inside Meg's stomach, the professor grabs a five foot long tooth that just happened to be floating around in the shark's belly and pierces through the stomach where it is tangible to the heart. Needless to say, the shark simply refuses to live with a big hole in its heart and dies, pouring gallons of blood into the ocean in the process.
“The big shark followed. No one asked what kind of shark it was; there was no question. Everything about it, from its size to its color to its shape to the cold ineluctability of its assault, broadcast its identity: Great White Shark.” (Lawrence, 57) The great white shark, commonly known as the most dangerous predator to lurk the seas, has been given names and symbols that superficially anthropomorphize its existence on earth. (Chivers, 22) To most scientists and field researchers, great white sharks are mystical and fascinating creatures that are important parts of the eco-system. But to the average human, sharks are demonized into vicious monsters.
Sharks play a very important role in the ocean’s ecosystem. They are the ocean’s top predator, and without them, the balance between predator and prey will become very unstable. The rapid reduction of sharks is disrupting the ocean’s equilibrium. Healthy oceans require sharks, and without healthy oceans, healthy fisheries are impossible. But currently are up to 73 million sharks are finned alive every year.
Jane then fell back into the ocean. Panicking, Jane swam to another piece of the boat which was nearby and was able to get on it safely. Edna, still worried about the half asleep Daisy, grabbed her by her collar and tried to swim to the third piece of the boat. With the waves crashing around her, Edna lost her grip and Daisy was lost in the waves. Once Edna was safely on the piece of the boat, she began searching for Daisy.
Many open sea creatures. A dolphin eats a wide variety of fish, and their hunting varies according to the population of food. When large schools of fish are there, many dolphins will try catching their own fish by communicating with one another. They take the fish into the top of the water and force them to the surface of the water, making it impossible for the fish to breath and escape. Dolphins usually hunt during the day.

Drewe uses reoccurring symbols to reinforce the themes of impending danger and creates a sinister atmosphere. It can be seen throughout the memoir of Drewes life; he has always had a fascination with sharks, and writes how as a child he even captured a carpet shark as a sign of strength in an attempt to impress his love interest, Roberta. The title of the novel ‘The Shark Net’ suggests the literal idea of a shark net that in theory are used to keep sharks at bay but in reality is a poor response to the dangers of sharks themselves as they don't help much and can only provide a false sense of security. The shark can also be seen as a metaphor of Cooke, an unseen killer, who is ever present searching and waiting for its next prey, instilling fear by his reputation and his perceptible vagueness, being like a shark. He is a friendly/familiar face to everyone, but then when he murders his victims he becomes unfamiliar to most.
