Greenland Shark Discovery Shifts Understanding of Ocean Giants

You may recall our Featured Creature profile about Greenland Sharks from a few weeks ago, which was thoughtfully written by Anya Reddy. We’re excited to share a new development in the world of Greenland Shark research, furthering our understanding of these ocean giants. From their eyesight to their swimming patterns, this new research tells us more of the elusive sharks’ story.

“The newly published findings upend commonly held beliefs and expose the challenges of studying a shark that has long resisted the reaches of science. But the disruptive nature of the research also underscores the challenges scientists face in predicting how a rapidly changing climate might harm or help the elusive fish.”
