Shark Extinction

Computer-generated images were used by the animation artist to produce a video that depicts what a Megalodon attack on a ship could have looked like.

A team of researchers have created a 3D model of a megalodon, one of the believed to be the largest shark that ever roamed the Earth's waters. For the modeling, a team of researchers in collaboration with the University of Zurich (UZH) used the specimen of an individual megalodon which was discovered back in the 1860s. It was believed to have died ...

An Australian man has been charged with stealing a monitoring tag from a great white shark, reportedly setting off a string of false shark alarms in Western Australia.

Trapped on island habitats made smaller by rising seas, Indonesia's Komodo dragons were listed as "endangered" on Saturday, in an update of the wildlife Red List that also warned overfishing threatens nearly two-in-five sharks with extinction.

Researchers say that the survival and evolution of sharks through multiple mass extinctions received little analytical attention. A new study has now attempted to shed some light on their evolution during the catastrophic event. The researchers studied the morphology of 1,239 fossil shark teeth to see how their diversity was affected during the mas...

An ocean evet some 19 million years ago nearly wiped out the entire shark population, a new study has found. What remains today is just a sliver of the diversity of the shark population that existed then.

An ancient shark, the largest to ever live, likely went extinct about 2.6 million years ago, scientists have found.

Shark fin soup, that exotic but pricey delicacy said to boost sexual potency and prevent heart disease, is going off menus in some Singapore hotels and restaurants in an effort to save sharks which face extinction from overfishing.The fins of an adult...
