In an environment where sunlight never penetrates, vision becomes secondary. Instead, goblin sharks can perceive electrical signals from buried or hidden animals, allowing them to strike prey they cannot see.
This adaptation transforms the deep sea into an invisible electrical landscape, where survival depends not on sight but on detecting microvolt-level signals in water colder than a household refrigerator.
