No, kiddies, it's not "evolution in action". All you need to do is look up the definition of the word "species".
Heck, even the lamebrains who contribute to Wikipedia know this one:
In biology, a species is one of the basic units of biological classification and a taxonomic rank. A species is often defined as a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring.
This is just a case of a few randy sharks gettin' some strange.
From AFP via Yahoo! News:
World-first hybrid shark found off Australia
Hee-hee. "Hybrid". I wonder if it spontaneously combusts like the Chevy Volt...
Scientists said on Tuesday that they had discovered the world's first hybrid sharks in Australian waters, a potential sign the predators were adapting to cope with climate change.
...Give me a call when they walk out of the water, put on suits and ties, and start taking our jobs.
The mating of the local Australian black-tip shark with its global counterpart, the common black-tip, was an unprecedented discovery with implications for the entire shark world, said lead researcher Jess Morgan.
"Unprecedented discovery", kiddies, not "unprecedented event". Just because it's new to us, doesn't mean it's new to the sharks.
One needs to learn how to read and think critically...
"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, told AFP.
Sounds like a Science Nazi who preys on those who don't know how to think for themselves...
"This is evolution in action."
