the world's first hybrid sharks in Australian

SYDNEY - A group of scientists today revealed they had discovered the world's first hybrid sharks in Australian waters.

Head researchers, Jess Morgan, said the shark hybrid resulting from a mating between a black nose shark Australia common black nose with sharks at the same time is a surprising discovery in science.

 

"It was shocking because no one has ever seen a hybrid shark before, This is evidence of an evolutionary process," said Morgan.

He said the discovery was made during the shark hybrid species of sharks recorded work in Australia's east coast recently.

 

Australia's only black nose shark live in tropical climates, but a hybrid shark was found in colder waters at a distance of 2,000 kilometers from the beach.

Scientists believe that mating between two different genes occur as an adaptation to allow a black nose shark to survive even the sea water temperature is changing due to global warming. - AFP
