    Default worlds first hybrid shark found off the coast of sydney austraila

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...Australia.html
    Researchers found 57 of the new sharks along 1200 miles of coastline between New South Wales and Queensland, saying the interbreeding may be a response to climate change or fishing patterns.
    Like the two parent species, the common black-tip and the Australian black-tip, the new shark is not considered dangerous - and scientists say there is no risk of the hybrids leading to a Jaws-style "mega-shark".
    The hybrids were found at five locations and identified using genetic testing and body measurements. While the two parent black-tip species are closely related, they grow to different maximum sizes and are genetically distinct.

    Read about this in yesterday's paper. As long as they don't grow limbs and come crawling onto land, they're OK by me.


    The horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
