Sharks have long been believed to be silent, stalking their prey and wolfing them down without comment. They're ruthless and efficient. But a team of marine biologists in New Zealand are challenging that assumption. In a new study published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, the researchers report that they've recorded the first ever instance of a shark actively producing a sound, in the form of sharp, abrupt clicks. The sharks that produced the noise were rig sharks, a species which a

It’s the aquatic buddy comedy movie we never knew we needed. Scientists in New Zealand have released footage of an octopus appearing to ride the back of a shortfin mako shark. Researchers at University of Auckland documented the real-life sharktopus during a December 2023 expedition in the Hauraki Gulf near Kawau Island. The sighting was unusual for several reasons, not the least of which is that octopuses aren’t known for hanging out near the water’s surface. Rochelle Constantine, a professor

The giant extinct shark species known as the megalodon has captured the interest of scientists and the general public alike, even inspiring the 2018 blockbuster film The Meg. The species lived some 3.6 million years ago and no complete skeleton has yet been found. So there has been considerable debate among paleobiologists about megalodon's size, body shape and swimming speed, among other characteristics. While some researchers have compared megalodon to a gigantic version of the stocky great w

Divers hanging out with a school of tiger sharks in the Bahamas had a wild run-in with one particularly curious specimen. A video shared by diver Andrea Ramos Nascimento on Instagram shows a shark gobbling up an Insta360 underwater camera, leading to incredible views from inside the sea creature's cavernous mouth — before it spits it back up as it reconsiders its choice of prey. Amazingly, the shark even manages to capture a glimpse of three nearby divers, framed by the inside of its maw. Whil
