Poisonous sharks swim around the Thames

With climate change, new animal species have appeared

The Thames in London has been dead for years.

Now, with the changing climate, new animals have settled in the river.

Among them are several different types of sharks – one of them is poisonous.

according to Report from the Zoological Society of London Today there are more than 115 different species of fish in the river, which were declared biologically dead in the 1960s.

Now eels, seahorses and sharks swim in the water. One of them is a poisonous species of porbeagle called Squalus, the poison of which is hidden in the front fins. For humans, the poison is not fatal, but causes swelling and pain. In addition to fish, 92 different species of birds feed there.

“It wasn’t nice”

The authorities have worked hard to clear and clean the 346-kilometre-long Thames, but people probably shouldn’t take a dip in the river anyway. This was what competition swimmer Debbie Campbell experienced when she did a training session in a section of the river and swam straight into the sewage slush.

– I could see it between my toes. Then I smelled the sewage. She says he was not nice.

After that, Debbie wrote sick in her stomach for three days woman. It is now calling on politicians to save the dying currents in it United kingdom It makes dumping wastewater in it illegal.
