Unlike bony fish with gas bladders, the shark’s cartilaginous skeleton and oil-rich liver prevent catastrophic compression, allowing a multi-ton vertebrate to function where sunlight has never penetrated.
Its survival at such crushing depths reveals how evolution engineered a body plan that solves extreme pressure physics, enabling one of the ocean’s largest predators to occupy territory inaccessible to most large animals.
