Florida Atlantic University says the epaulette shark is the most evolved species known to science.
Scientists have learned the secret of unusual land sharks that can stay in the water for a long time. Futurism writes about it.
For the first time, researchers announced “walking” sharks in 2020. They were spotted on the Great Barrier Reef.
Now it became clear that the spotted predators move on the ground with their pectoral fins, which serve as “legs”. Sharks raise their fins and push off flat surfaces.
Epaulette sharks can spend enough on land in about two hours.
Recall that early scientists announced a critical reduction in the number of sharks and rays in the world’s oceans. According to their observations, over 50 years they have decreased by 70%.
