Pretty Dangerous
The thing is that people start thinking that this is one of those sharks that are claimed to be almost harmless and there is where everyone is wrong. The dorsal fins of these sharks have a poisonous spine and they use it on anyone they feel threatened from.
A Lot To Study
These elephant sharks are one of the direct descendants of the most ancient jawed vertebrates. In other terms, if we were to study its complete set of DNA including all of its genes, then we would be able to learn about the origin of almost all the vertebrates and if you’re wondering that if this includes us then the answer is ‘Yes’.
An Amazing Revelation
Whenever we think that sea creatures can’t amaze us anymore, they come up with a fact that amazes us even more and that teaches us several other things. Who might have thought that such a funny looking shark would hold so many secrets relating to human evolution?
Eggs Sack
Just when we were thinking that these sharks look really weird, we came across their egg sacks. And you should have expected it by now that they were no less weird.
To protect their eggs from the predators they keep their eggs in disguise. These eggs look like they are packed in a small black sack.
Other Dangerous Creatures
And now that you have come across one of the really frightening aquatic creatures, we would like to bring in your notice that they are not the only dangerous sea creatures that haunt the depths of the oceans. The sea is nowhere short of dangerous creatures like them.
Harmless Yet Frightening
There are some of the sea creatures that may not be harmful but still, are as frightening as any other dangerous sea creature. Like the whale shark which might be harmless to human beings but might scare the hell out of them. Just imagine this thing circling your boat. I don’t know about you but I would have cried.
