Baby sharks, belly buttons, and the science of invincibility

Some newborn sharks have a belly button... but it heals! What can this teach us about injury healing, especially w/ ocean warming? New study by @shamildebaere.bsky.social & #physioshark team published in J. Fish Bio.

It gives us a paper trail that can be used for future studies tracking the decline of these keystone predators in the waters of Mossel Bay.

So put on some music, grab some snacks, and collect those zeros!
