Having the ability to keep their warmth helps them as predators as well. Another group of sharks, known as the mackerel sharks are able to warm their blood. These mackerel sharks retain their blood by using a heat exchange system called rete mirabile. The body temperature of mackerel sharks can be up to 10 o higher than the surrounding water. [10]
The night shark (Carcharhinus signatus) is a species of requiem shark, in the family Carcharhinidae, found in the temperate and tropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean.An inhabitant of the outer continental shelf and upper continental slope, this shark most commonly occurs at depths of 50–600 m (160–1,970 ft) and conducts a diel vertical migration, spending the day in deeper water and moving ...
Sharks in tropical waters have declined more rapidly than those in temperate zones during the period studied. [199] A 2021 study published in Current Biology found that overfishing is currently driving over one-third of sharks and rays to extinction. [200]
Do not wander far into the water - especially without assistance. Avoid entering the water with an open wound if you are menstruating as sharks can often smell blood. Swim in areas tended by ...

This results in blood coming from the body losing its heat so that by the time it interacts with cold water from the gills, it is about the same temperature, so no heat is lost from the body to the water. Blood coming towards the body regains its heat, allowing the shark to maintain its body temperature.
Grey reef sharks become more active as night approaches. Grey reef sharks are active at all times of the day, with activity levels peaking at night. [4] At Rangiroa, groups of around 30 sharks spend the day together in a small part of their collective home range, dispersing at night into shallower water to forage for food.
