Fisheries and Oceans Canada sends autonomous ocean gliders into the ocean as part of a program to gather data on salinity and temperature.

One of the five gliders in the program was about 300 metres below the ocean’s surface when it suddenly malfunctioned.

The shark had bitten into the body of the two-metre-long device and taken off two of its wings.

The damaged glider was able to keep moving and return to the surface.
