"Great White Sharks Venture into the Mysterious Depths of the Ocean's 'Twilight Zone'"
Researchers have discovered that great white sharks are diving thousands of meters deeper than usual into the ocean's twilight zone, leaving experts puzzled about the reason behind these deep dives. A study tracking 12 species of large predatory fish, including great white sharks, found that they frequently ventured into the twilight zone and even deeper into the midnight zone. The purpose of these visits to the dark depths, where little light penetrates, remains unclear as these animals typically feed in shallower waters. The findings suggest that the twilight zone is an overlooked crucial habitat for marine life, and further research is needed to understand the predator-prey interactions and resources in this region.
