White sharks serial killers?

BBC - Earth News - Great whites are 'serial killers'

Hmmm...is there anything in this article truly noteworthy...?

Predators choose positions and behaviors that increase their chances of encountering game...? Isn't that their job...

And then linking this to serial killers to put some kick in the title...

There was a book published a year or so ago called "The Devil's Teeth". It was written about the Farallon Islands (about 25 miles west of San Francisco). It identified white shark "hunting groups" and even plotted their hunting territory on a map of the islands.

Interesting note about that book "The Devil's Teeth"...After the incident where a killer whale killed a great white shark. All the great white sharks in that area cleared out for six weeks. It goes to show you that there is competition between the Apex Predators for food resources, and territory.

What made me chuckle were the hysterical headings from the more salacious and low-brow publications. The Sun is always good for this:

Sharks just like sea-rial killers complete with a detailed blurb on Jack the Ripper and other unsavoury humans from murder history.

Thats what I was thinking. You could substitute any predator and the article would still apply.

Its my understanding that some marine/animal life are always on the move and feed as the opportunity arises?
