1. There May Be An Undiscovered Species Of Thresher Sharks
: So far, scientists recognize three extant species of Thresher Shark: The Pelagic Thresher, Bigeye Thresher, and the Common Thresher. A species of Thresher Shark was found of the coast of Baja in 1995. After scientific analysis of its DNA, it was found to potentially be a new species of Thresher Shark. These has only been one sample of this potential species found so far.
2. Thresher Sharks Have Very Long Tail Fins:Thresher Sharks have very long upper caudal fins. Thresher Sharks can grow to 19 ft (5.7 m) in length and maturity. Their long tail fin measures half the length of their body. So in ãdül† Thresher Sharks, their tails can be as long as 10 ft (3 m). These long tails give them several unique biological and behavioral capabilities.
3. Thresher Sharks Were Named After Foxes: The first person to ever write about Thresher Sharks was Aristotle in the book Historia Animalia. In it, he claims that Thresher Sharks are able to bite through fishing lines to escape and will temporarily swallow their young to protect them from predators. Both of these behaviors, which are scientifically inaccurate, lead Aristotle to praise the high level of intelligence and cunning of the Thresher Shark, ultimately leading to the name “Alopex.” In Greek, Alopex means fox, which are considered highly intelligent and cunning animals.
4. Thresher Sharks Prefer Deep Open Ocean Waters: Though they breed along the coastal waters and juvenile Thresher Sharks will stay in shallower waters until maturity, Thresher Sharks prefer the deep, open ocean waters. They spend most of their lives at a depth of 1,800 ft (550 m). The migrate the open ocean waters spending the summer in the North and the winter in the South. They prefer tropical and subtropical waters, but will migrate into temperate waters to hunt.
5. Thresher Sharks Are Impressive Hunters:Thresher Sharks are very impressive hunters that tend to prey on schools of fish. They use their unique tails to help trick and lure prey. Once the prey comes close to them, they will then slap the prey with their tail repeatedly until it is disabled. Then it will attack the prey with speed assault, taking bites on each launch until it has completely consumed the prey.
6. Thresher Sharks Are Warm Blooded: Thresher Sharks are one of the few shark species with endothermic capabilities. They have slow-oxidative muscles combined with blood vessel countercurrent exchange which helps them regulate their blood pressure internally. This leads them to have blood that is 3.6°F (2°C) warmer than the surrounding waters. Being warm blooded allows them to stabilize proteins in cooler waters and helps them more efficiently use their muscles. Their endothermic capabilities make them agile hunters and quick swimmers.
7. Thresher Sharks Are Strong Swimmers: Thresher Sharks are strong active swimmers. Thresher Sharks are one of the fastest sharks in the ocean and can swim at a top speed of 30 mph (48.2 kph). They can also jump out of the water, a behavior known as breaching. They are able to swim so fast because of a combination of extra thrust from their long caudal fin, their endothermic capabilities, and the presence of a strip of aerobic red muscle along its flanks that helps give it extra strength and power. Thresher Sharks’ bodies are also tor**** shaped, which reduces the drag of the water against their bodies.
8. Thresher Sharks Are Related To Great White Sharks: Thresher Sharks are Lamniformes, otherwise known as Mackerel Sharks. The Mackerel Shark family includes Basking Sharks, Mako Sharks, and the famous Great White Shark. The Thresher Shark is also related to the prehistoric terror, the Megalodon Shark. These sharks all can regulate their blood temperature, have similar biological features like two dorsal fins, an anal fin, five gill slits, and a mouth that goes past their eyes.
9. Threshers Sharks Are Part Of An Interesting Myth: There’s a long standing myth that Thresher Sharks and Swordfish work together to attack whales. The myth says that the Thresher Shark will swim in front of a Whale and district it by violently whipping its tail around, meanwhile the Swordfish will attack the Whale with its sharp nose, impaling it. Then they share the feast. No one’s really sure why this is a common myth, but it is not true as neither Thresher Sharks nor Swordfish can eat whales.
10. Thresher Sharks Are Not A Threat To Humans:Threshers Sharks are not a threat to humans. There has only be one documented Thresher Shark attack on a person and it was provoked by the individual grabbing the Thresher Shark’s tail. There have been four accounts of Thresher Sharks attacking boats, but were individuals fighting against capture. For the most part, Thresher Sharks are scared of humans and will even swim away the moment they see a diver. On the other hand, humans are a threat to Thresher Sharks. They are often hunted by commercial and recreational fisherman for their unique tails. Since they tend to hunt schooling fish, they are also often a commercial fishing byproduct of tuna. So really, Thresher Sharks are not a threat to humans, but humans are a threat to Thresher Sharks.
Thresher Sharks are an interesting species of shark. They have long tails that make them impressive hunters and fast swimmers, like their illustrious cousins the Great White and Megalodon Sharks. They have a long history with humans, though they are rarely seen, and inspire myths and fascination.
