The elephant shark, a primitive deep-sea fish that belongs to the oldest living family of jawed vertebrates, can see color much like humans can. This discovery may enhance scientists' understanding of ...

An international team of researchers has sequenced the genome of the elephant shark, a curious-looking fish with a snout that resembles the end of an elephant's trunk. The elephant shark and its ...

Move over, coelacanth. No longer is this extremely rare order of ancient fish crowned the slowest evolving vertebrate animal in the world. That honor now goes to the elephant shark, whose freshly ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...

The cartilaginous elephant shark has a basal phylogenetic position useful for understanding jawed vertebrate evolution. Survey sequencing of its genome identified four Hox clusters, suggesting that, ...

Elephant sharks’ DNA hasn’t changed much in the 420 million years that bony fishes have been in existence, suggests a new analysis of the animal’s genome. Callorhinchus milii is the first ...

You have a lot more in common with elephant fish than you probably think. Granted, you likely don't live hundreds of feet below the ocean's surface, emerging to shallow water once a year to lay your ...

A wounded elephant seal is seen Monday at Piedras Blancas. The animal was apparently attacked by a shark. Christine Heinrichs Special to The Cambrian Shark activity off the Central Coast hit close to ...

Three elephant seals had fresh shark bites at Point Reyes National Seashore, the park said. Point Reyes National Seashore/NPS photo A white shark viciously took massive bites out of three elephant ...

Scientists at A*STAR's Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB) led an international team of researchers that sequenced and analyzed the genome of the elephant shark. A comparison of the ...

The first shark genome decoded belongs to the slow-evolving elephant shark, providing researchers new insight into cartilaginous fish, and the differences between sharks and other bony vertebrates. A ...
