The act of shifting via water with the intent to frighten people current in or close to that water includes a mixture of bodily locomotion and behavioral ways. For instance, a marine animal may quickly strategy swimmers to startle them, or create sudden disturbances on the water’s floor.
Such habits can affect human exercise in aquatic environments, affecting leisure utilization of seashores and waterways. Traditionally, perceived threats from aquatic creatures have formed cultural narratives and led to the implementation of security measures, together with designated swimming areas and lifeguard patrols.
