Scientists probe odd Greenland sharksby MT Bureau - May 7, 2008 - 0 comments
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia -- Canadian scientists are waging a research campaign on Greenland sharks, which are almost opposite of any other shark and described as "very, very strange." Steve Campana of the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and Aaron Fisk of the University of Windsor, Ontario, traveled to the Arctic in April to tag and release the sharks, the Ottawa Citizen reported. "These are very, very strange sharks," Campana said. "They are really the antithesis to the fast-swimming great white and mako (sharks)." He said they can grow to 30 feet in length, and also have hundreds of razor-sharp teeth as seen when researchers found dead sharks and opened their stomachs. "Every single one was jam-packed with food. A lot of it was large fish" but he said there were also baby seals. Copyright 2008 by United Press International. Post new comment |
