In 2012, a huge surprise was discovered in the waters off the coast of Australia near Queensland. Researchers from the University of Queensland came across a hybrid Black Tip Shark that seems to be the product of mating between an Australian Black Tip Shark and a Common Black Tip Shark.
The team found that the hybrid animal species they discovered only happened due to climate change forcing both Black Tip species to come closer together. The Australian Black-Tip tends to live in tropical waters but the hybrid was found over 1,200 miles away from the coast, in cooler waters. This means the Australian Black-Tip seems to be adjusting to new changing sea temperatures.
