Sharks, the awe-inspiring predators of the deep

They have long been surrounded by myths that paint them as invincible creatures

Impervious to the challenges that plague other species.

One such misconception is the belief that sharks are immune to disease.

While it’s true that these ocean giants possess an impressive immune system

the reality is more nuanced

Sharks, like all living organisms, can fall prey to diseases and health issues.

Sharks boast a remarkable set of defenses against infections, including specialized cells and proteins that help them ward off pathogens.

Environmental factors play a crucial role in determining the health of sharks

Their immune systems can be compromised by pollution

As a result, Long Island’s beaches find themselves in the crosshairs of these oceanic hunters.

There is still so much more to discover about these incredible creatures!
