"It's very surprising because no one's ever seen shark hybrids before, this is not a common occurrence by any stretch of the imagination," Morgan, from the University of Queensland, said.

"This is evolution in action."

animals like the panda etc that specialized in something better do the same. Because all these weak animals will soon die if they can't help them selves since us human cannot. (we are such stupid focks that we let this happen.)

There is more at play than an animal helping itself. Sometimes we humans create a scenario that is far too detrimental for the animal to rebound on it's own. The Florida Panther by example. We bottlenecked the specie and now it's gene pool is too weak to spur any sort of positive flow :(

It is not necessarily a new species unless it is capable of breeding with one of its parent species

i.e. a horse and donkey mate to produce a mule yet a mule is infertile. Thus until they observe this new "species" breeding successfully it is an exaggerated claim

I'm aware.

This is why I said a new specie in the making.

In florida the fears are of a rock back python and some other indonesian python i think (Or something along those lines, i was too hung over when i watched this to recall exactly). One is insanely strong, the other is very aggressive. the mix would make for a human killing snake :unsure:

There has already been the death of a boy from them recently (It ate him hole after crushing him while his friends ran away)

:hail: Thanks jeebus i live in newzealand where the most harmful thing is maybe a whitetail spider, if your lucky enough to find one!
