    'Shark cams' reveal Ningaloo sea turtles freeze to escape predators'
    gaze

    Sea turtles stay still to avoid detection by prowling tiger sharks,
    according to scientists who clamped cameras to the dorsal fins of the
    apex predator off the coast of Western Australia.

    About 70 hours of footage was captured from the backs of four sharks -
    ranging between 2.8 and 3.5 metres long - at the World Heritage-listed
    Ningaloo Reef near Exmouth, with the recordings altered to replicate
    the black-and-white vision of the tiger shark.
