I ❤ Baby Sharks

Scientists have recently uncovered that baby sharks can sense and react to danger before they are even born. For example an embryonic bamboo sharks freeze in response to the dangers. What happens is that the shark is able to pick up the electrical fields released by the predators and therefore are able to react accordingly. Scientists began by taking captive bamboo shark eggs and presenting electrical fields or simply movement near them while underwater, and they froze in place so as not to attract attention.
