The Thresher Shark is a large species of shark that inhabits the temperate and tropical oceans of the world.
Beside having electro receptors, this species of shark also has an extraordinary heat exchanger called "endoderms" which allows them to produce heat through an internal body mechanism.
This shark is an active predator and uses its slender whup-like tail as a deadly weapon to stun prey. Fortunately, they do not appear to be a threat to humans.
