👉 Shark fluid, also known as dermal denticle glycoproteins, is a unique biological substance found in the skin of sharks and other cartilaginous fish. This fluid is a complex mixture of proteins, glycoproteins, and other molecules that play crucial roles in the shark's hydrodynamics, sensory perception, and defense mechanisms. One of its most remarkable properties is its ability to reduce drag and increase swimming efficiency by creating a thin layer of water between the shark's skin and the surrounding fluid, effectively minimizing resistance. Additionally, shark fluid contains substances that can disrupt the sensory systems of predators, potentially deterring attacks or aiding in prey detection. This multifunctional fluid is a testament to the evolutionary adaptations that have made sharks highly successful predators in marine environments.
