While they have put in a cage, tourists are astounded by the explosive attack a white shark. Fortunately the shark caused no injuries, only a frightening experience. Cage diving is a very controversial practice. Marine biologists are evil eye this process, which wrongly fuelling the fear and the myths around sharks. The cage is made with blood use bait to attract predators, something that learns to sharks to associate food with humans. This could contribute significantly to the increase in the number of attacks on humans.

- Change photos with artificial intelligence Photo editing has reached a new level. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Computer Science, of the Sarbrucken Research Center, of MIT, of the University of Pennsylvania and Google, developed an image processing method using GAN (Productive contrastive network) which allows us to control almost everything in an image. You put two points and move the objects in the photo in 3D space.
- Calf with camouflage In a field near Thurgoona, Australia, a Galloway cow stands behind her calf, camouflaging it. Galloway cows a distinctive black color with a wide white stripe at belly level.
- A tarantula walks on water The hairs on the tarantula's legs trap air, and allow her to stand on the surface of the water. Tarantulas have difficulty moving in water so they don't do it often, but they are known to cross bodies of water when they need to escape a predator.
- Waterproof drone that flies and submerges in water The Mirs-X is a quadcopter that flies like a standard drone, but can also submerge and move through water, using the same four propellers. Researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong designed the prototype to hover for six minutes in the air or stay underwater for about 40 minutes.
- The camouflage of a caterpillar on a leaf A Euthalia Aconthea caterpillar walks on a leaf. Her impressive camouflage makes her almost invisible.
- Deepfake from a single photo Researchers from Samsung's labs have developed a way to create high-resolution deepfakes, from a photo or even a painting. It's called MegaPortraits, and the team says it solved a particularly difficult problem when displaying its image "driver" is quite different from the source animation. For example, an effective Angelina Jolie deepfake is much more difficult to handle, when he is a man with short hair.
