They are opportunistic bottom feeders, eating fish, smaller sharks, and squid.
Porbeagles are one of the only shark species known to engage in playful behavior, just like dogs! They’ve been observed pushing floating objects and kelp around and chasing each other. They’re very curious sharks and are likely to come check you or your boat out if you’re in the water.
Porbeagles are known to swim and prey individually, but they have also been found in groups while hunting larger prey.
