英语听力：自然百科 鲨鱼湾的海豚—20

 But as Puck passes the boat, the team get a stark¹ reminder² of just how much danger she and her family are facing.-Oh, she has a shark bite. Did you see that? Did you see that scar?

-Oh, I see that.

-It's a new one.

-Yeah. It's new. That's bad.

-A big shark bite.

-It's in the same size as the previous shark bite.

-It looks like whatever happened. She got in the way that a tiger shark or something be c* fine.

It's highly likely Puck took the bite, protecting little Samuel. Dolphin mums will risk their lives to protect their calves³.

-You know this morning that Puck has a looking like a shark bite scar, but she's healed that. They heal remarkly fast and there is not a mark on Samuel, so obviously he remains⁴ unscathed. But since nearly 80 percent of the dolphins here have shark bite scars, he's bound to get one sooner or later.

Puck's choice of this shallow sandy bay is no chance. It's the safest place for Samuel to play.

-During a shark season like this, it's a perfect spot, shallow, beautiful water. You can see everything around you. Big tigers show up, they would be able to see it miles away. Look at them! He's kiddy.

Now Samuel's three months old. Puck allows him a lot more freedom. He races alone, chasing a tiny sholer fish. It's his first time he's been this far away from Puck, but he's clearly enjoying his freedom. Skiing along at his back, he's trying to track the fish just beneath the surface.
