Further to fossilized past life research, Palaeontologist reconstructs size comparisons of extinct species with their modern relatives in 30 species. The added descriptions are my narrative of complete references from www.boredpanda.com for my personal archive.

Now we take a look at current life forms’ characteristics.
A few of 500 shark species lay eggs at the sea floor instead of giving birth. Horn shark’s eggs are often washed up on the shores of beaches all over the world and the eggs are in swirly shapes like screw patterns. Sometimes people don’t know that these are shark’s eggs. Related to shark content, at the Atlantic ocean, sharks feed on cocaine or other illegal drugs that are dumped or disposed of. After the feeding frenzy, sharks become wildly dangerous to humans at close interaction.
