The sharks most likely to vanish aren’t the usual suspects but the weird ones: rare tooth shapes, niche hunters, deep and surface dwellers. Overfishing is fixable. Enforce limits, protect habitats, and keep variety alive. bit.ly/49vJ1A0
Extinction of unusual sharks threatens species diversity
One-third of Earth’s 500 shark species are on the brink of extinction. A new Stanford-led analysis reveals that species with specialized traits are most at risk.
