    No species ever lasts that long.

    Sharks enter the thread.

    Awkward silence ensues

      Shark species go extinct all the time. New shark species arise.

          Why does the cow shark description say it’s unique in having six and sometimes seven gill slits compared to all other sharks having five. Then the frilled shark says it has six gill slits.

            They’re both part of the Hexanchiformes order, which are seven gill sharks. So the cow shark article is wrong, there are two surviving families with more than five gills.

              Thank you, I typically default to assuming I don’t understand or I’m confused when reading up things outside of my wheelhouse. I enjoyed reading up on the sharks you shared! I was trying to decide which one I would want to be if I could decide while laying in bed this morning. Felt silly but fuck it, I’m old, it’s nice to dream.

                I hope you picked Goblin shark. You get to be “ugly” and don’t give a fuck and outlive your enemies lives anyways.
