American scientists from Cornell University have deciphered the genome of the first white shark, according to “Rossiyskaya Gazeta».
Until recently, the great white shark is a real genetic puzzle for biologists, but now scientists have finally read the genome of the oldest inhabitants of the Earth. It turned out that it is very similar to the human genetic code.
In particular, affinity proteins are human and shark. The researchers attributed this to the fact that the formidable predator sea are partially warm-blooded and their metabolism is faster than the cold-blooded fish.
great white shark found in coastal and open waters of all the Earth’s oceans, except the Arctic Ocean. This is one of the largest predatory fish on the planet and can reach sizes of up to 6 meters in length. White shark is considered the most dangerous to humans view sharks, that she attributed to the majority of attacks on humans.
White shark found in the waters of Primorsky Krai. Sharks go to those areas where there is comfortable for them Wednesday. Summer in the south of Primorye enough warm water, and there are also a staple food of white sharks – here are sealery Larga.
As previously reported IA “Date” with reference to the opinion of the coastal scientists on human white shark hunts, but may confuse it with a seal that actually happened in the summer of 2011 in the Bay Telyakovsky when the shark bit off his hands resting Denis Udovenko. White shark moves at depth and chooses a victim who is at the top. For some time she turns a victim, and then attack.
