Sharks can hear sounds from considerable distances underwater and even tell where they are coming from, according to a new study that debunks the common misconception that the predators can only detect nearby sounds. Researchers say blacktip sharks can hear from about 75 meters away and respond by quickly changing direction. Since blacktips seasonally gather off southeast Florida, they offer a rare opportunity to observe free-swimming sharks in clear, shallow water. Blacktip sharks gather in large numbers along the Palm Beach County coast every year.
