Listen, I didn't believe it at first aswell? It's a submerged volcano. It's National Geographic so give them a break? They know exactly what they're talking about and so give this a break? The jist of the theme is that Sharks shouldn't be seen any where near an underwater volcano? Apparently the Sharks are swimming in near ACID liquid? Read on...
UNTIL I SAW IT WAS NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC!
An astounding discovery had recently been made in the south Pacific. When looking for some rare underwater volcanoes around the Solomon Islands, the students from the University of Rhode Island found them, but in addition to the volcanoes, they had also discovered sharks that were living inside of the volcanoes. How were these sharks surviving within the dangerous confines of the volcanoes? Was there some food supply that the sharks preferred to their routine diet?
Divers who had come close to the volcano's area had developed acid burns on their skin. How was it possible that these sharks who were dwelling within the area of the volcano were able to survive without being burnt severely? Perhaps it's within the structure of the organism's DNA? After all, the organisms of earth are defined by their genetic code.
Perhaps something is "programmed" into the genetics of these sharks that lets them survive and thrive within the belly of these underwater beasts. In addition, the sharks could have chosen this as a new habitat due to impending changes that mankind is having on the global ecosystem.
I don't know what to say, but this is what I initially imagined in my head, lol until I quickly laughed it off. It can't be like this image, but still the science fiction department in my head went on a rampage and conjured up this awesome image (very similar anyways). Of course Sharks can't live in lava.
Mankind's pollutants and emissions change the global habitat for all dwellers, and perhaps these sharks have chosen the volcanoes as their new home because it is a safe place to live for them. The impact of the shark's migration could have a huge impact on the general well being of our seas due to the food chain being thrown off. Certain animals could experience their population growing in abundance and potentially become a problem for their habitat.
These sharks and their choice of a new home is an astounding topic and it will continue to pique the interest of marine biologists and their colleagues for generations to come. The impact of their habitat and their new diet based off of their location could eventually impact our lives as well.
If it wasn't for Nat Geo then I wouldn't of given a second glance but for me, Nat Geo has a good reputation and are trusted worldwide so I didn't hesitate to take a look. Read the title again, it say's "underwater volcano"? The water was probably very warm and that's what some Sharks like so i've just heard from my trusted source?
Alas, it's not the Shark depicted in the image with the big massive teeth just chomping at the bit to "sink" pardon the pun, it's impressive and very sharp teeth in to you in any way it can? Oh no! It's the Hammer Head Shark!
