'Shark's Eye View' Reveals Creatures Swimming In Schools With Other Species (PHOTOS)

Researchers fitted sharks with ingestible and strap-on cameras to gain more insight into their mysterious lives.

These video recorders and sensors recorded where the sharks went, and what they did when they reached their destination, a University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa news release reported.

The ingestible cameras allowed the team to learn more about the shark's eating habits. The sophisticated instrument uses electrical measurements to track the shark's ingestion and digestion. This technique allows researchers to see "where, when and how much sharks and other predators are eating, and what they are feasting on," the news release reported.

The cameras give scientists a "shark's eye view" of their natural habitat.
