By overturning a long-held theory about bonnethead shark anatomy, researchers have discovered that both male and female sharks actually share a similar growth pattern, with their heads naturally rounding as they age. This breakthrough corrects decades of scientific assumptions and provides marine biologists with a clearer, more accurate understanding of shark development.
