but I imagine it varies between species
It seems to be pretty consistent across shark species (from the little I read). There may be exceptions (because there is so much we don't know), but it seems pretty much a violent encounter, and the female doesn't seem to have a say. Of course, it's new to me, so there's that😄
Fascinating creatures, aren't they?
Thanks for stopping by, @litguru
I thought there was a large shark that was vegetarian and very gentle. I bet you he puts on Barry White to get in the mood and only bites if asked. In defense of the other sharks, I would say that although they bite the females pretty hard, at least they don't eat her like the praying mantis female does the male. :P
