Scientists have discovered the world’s first hybrid sharks, off the coast of Eastern Australia.
These super-sharks are a cross between the Common Black-Tip and Australian Black-Tip sharks and prove to be much stronger than the pure breeds.

Most ‘hybrids’ tend to be born sterile, but these sharks are breeding and have gone through multiple generations already. One day these hybrids could even replace the pure breed species.
These hybrids are roughly the same size as the pure breed species and they pose little, to no threat to humans.
