The Active Volcano Filled with Sharks; Kavachi
Published at : June 01, 2022
To the surprise of many, the actively erupting Kavachi volcano is filled with numerous large sharks. Despite the highly acidic and hot temperature of the ocean water within this submarine volcano's crater, these animals miraculously thrive. Both hammerhead and silky sharks live here, having mutated to survive to these harsh conditions. This is why Kavachi is often reffered to as a "sharkcano".
