The epaulette shark, a species of long tailed carpet sharks, is evolving amidst the climate crisis by enduring longer stints of hypoxia, or a lack of oxygen, in order to walk on land for up to two hours and escape warming oceans.
The shark, which grows to about three feet long, has recently been found to move 98 feet on land using its paddle shaped fins – previous research showed it was only able to live outside the water for no more than one-hour. The discovery, uncovered by biologists at the Florida Atlantic University(FAU) and a team in Australia, suggests the creature developed this ability due to changes in its reef-dwelling in the Pacific Ocean and it may outlive other marine animals because it can escape hostile environments as conditions change. The research so far 'indicates that this species has adaptations to endure some of the difficult circumstances expected for the 21st century, but possibly not all of them.' However, it took the epaulette shark nine million years to develop its locomotion.    https://nypost.com/2022/08/23/yet-another-reason-to-fear-sharks-these-can-walk-on-land/ |

 Right. They are developing this ability to escape the overheated oceans, to go... where exactly? The arctic? Powerwalking with the old folks at the mall? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: So now evolution is real? It starts out with sharks walking on land. That's how it starts. Then they turn into deformed frogs and eventually people. OR maybe this time they will turn into dragons or something beyond our wildest nightmares. |

It’s not like this evolutionary trait just happened. They’ve been doing this and been doing it a long time. And it’s not like we just discovered that this shark exists or that it does this.
This is the opposite of news. It is olds. |

Soon, due to climate change, sharks will be walking into homes to get into an air conditioned space. In Tulsa.

I saw something about where the tuna have constructed a series of breathing apparatus with kelp and are able to trap certain amounts of oxygen and travel on land. They are using it to stalk and kill lions because the lions banged their tuna girlfriends.
