In total darkness, detecting faint electrical signals and chemical traces becomes more valuable than eyesight, allowing a bus-length shark to pinpoint living or dead prey in vast black waters.
This sensory adaptation demonstrates how apex predators evolve alternative detection systems when light vanishes, enabling dominance in environments that appear inhospitable to large hunters.
