The perfect predator. Can’t survive out of water. What are sharks even doing??

TBF, most land predators can't even survive in water. The real perfect predators are dolphins. They were in the water, left it, and returned just to show us they still got it.

Obligate ram breathing is kind of mind-blowing. They have to swim to flow water through their gills because their gills have no muscles to flap like most fish have.

Only a few sharks are obligate ram breathers, though. Many species are able to take breaks from swimming.
