Yoko is believed to be the result of parthenogenesis, a rare type of asexual reproduction where offspring develop from unfertilized eggs.

The Pisco Basin is a hot, desert area famed for frequent discoveries of ancient marine species and was an extensive sea in ancient times, making it a reservoir of marine fossils.

Researchers are calling for increased monitoring to protect threatened species, alongside more public education and incentives for fishers to use equipment that is less threatening to shark species.

Ten new species, including nine animals and one plant, have been listed as "staring extinction in the face," according to the UK-based international conservation group.

Researchers document coordinated attacks targeting sharks' pelvic area to access nutrient-rich organs.

Dr. Laura Ryan of Macquarie University explains that lights on the underside of surfboards distort the silhouette, making it less appetizing to sharks.

The plant, operated by the IEC, uses seawater to cool its production units. It then releases the slightly warmer water back into the sea, which can attract fish and sharks.
