Why Does The Sevengill Shark Have Seven Gills?

Join shark scientist Kristian Parton as he dives into a creature on the broadnose sevengill shark - an ancient shark species! Kristian looks at sevengill sharks, asking important questions like: why do sevengill sharks have seven gills? He's also joined by shark scientist Meghan Holst, who's researching sevengill sharks in San Francisco Bay.

i'v got a grey cat named mako. when he was a kitten he had a triangular ridge of fur that ran all the way down his tail. wife had to take him to the vet recently. he jumped through the dropped ceiling tiles and fell down inside the wall. fire department had to cut a hole in their wall. when they started to patch him up, he almost did it again. had to finish his treatment and exam in the restroom.

Awesome. I love sevengills. One of the first books that sparked my interest in sharks back in elementary school was Sevengill: The Shark and Me by Don C Reed. He was a professional diver at an aquarium where this species was on display and wrote about his experiences there

[@icefishstatsyt8224]

Suprisingly despite having a primitive design they are still pretty good. I think theyre cool bc of how different they look from other sharks aswell as some things like pack hunting. They feel like Bluntnose Sixgills but instead of being large and bulky they're smaller, faster and more agile. I also find the name "cow shark" somewhat funny.

[@Sushi2735]

They look so cute...XD like that one picture of the one with spots and mouth opened is adorable. also...that junior doctor had to have a good head on his shoulder and quite a skill when it comes to patching up his own wounds. It's always a bit more difficult to tend to your own injuries esp when you need stitches. It's easier when someone else does it bc they can use both hands and sit at right angle to see the tear.

[@surfrider986]

Another great video, buddy 😄I didn't know too much about these sharks before. Do you think maybe the extra gills allow these sharks to spend more time in deeper water which has less oxygen?

[@annabizaro-doo-dah]

That makes a lot of sense. Although if they are very ancient it's interesting that oxygen levels were higher millions of years ago. I wonder if as ancient sharks used to high O² seas, in order to survive they adapted with an extra gill? That's the sort of stuff I'd love to hear discussed.

[@shellydesormier4646]

One of my favorite books as a kid was by Don Reed called SEVENGILL: SHARK & ME.

[@ravenfeader]

We have many seven gills in South Australia and we call them Gillies .When fishing in 10m-30m depth they are so numerous sometimes you need to move and they range from tiny up to massive .

[@SHARKBYTES]

I like the nickname gillies

[@Ebmoclas19]

Please excuse my ignorance, but if there tiny ones there and a large population, wouldn't that indicate that there's likely a pupping ground near by?

[@ravenfeader]

@@Ebmoclas19 Our entire Fleurieu Peninsular is their nursery and you will catch big ones down to tiny ones in the same fishing session 10m--80m deep .

[@annabizaro-doo-dah]

@@ravenfeader Strange that PhD candidate didn't know about that nursery. When it comes to zoology there's just so much to know I find biologists, unless they are very old, tend to be knowledgeable about small, specialised areas. Also, an experienced fisherman's knowledge is second to none.

[@jillianc949]

Another great creature feature. I've been interested in sevengills ever since reading a book about them as a kid and imo they look straight-up adorable. I wonder if the extra gills are a vestigial feature like the human appendix? The speculation about cooperative hunting is fascinating and a topic I hope more scientists look into - social behaviour in sharks is so understudied.

[@sherylbjerre9636]

Kris I remember reading about Sixgills Hornby Island British Colombia. A small dive operator for those wanting to see this unusual shark. Here's what I found lurks in my neighbourhood ( Vancouver LOL) Sixgill shark -A deeper water shark the Sixgill can grow to lengths of 16 feet. This species is also listed as a special concern under the Species at Risk Act. The feeding habits of these sharks can vary from other sharks to seals, squid and bony fish. Although an attack on any human is extremely unlikely people should always remain respectful when in their environment - which is deep, and not really of concern to kayakers and paddleboarders. The Sixgill has seen a population boom around Hornby Island BC in 2014 due to a food source increase researchers believe. Sevengill shark ( more rare) Can grow up to 5 feet in length with a flattened body and large pectoral fins. Researchers are finding their habits to be very unpredictable and they can be dangerous and often hunt in packs.

[@sherylbjerre9636]

Hunt in packs??

We have seven gills off Hobart and they often get mistaken by general public as great white sharks (that are also found in the region). Great video!

[@andrewbyrne2173]

The Broadnose 7-Gill is a really cool shark. I’m sad it’s not better known outside shark fans. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a combination of ambush predator and group hunter. Thank you both for the video.

[@MrMalvolio29]

Kristian: is it possible that the ostensible “cooperative hunting” of sevengills is a *contingent,* adventitious occurrence that happens only in certain special, unusual circumstances when each shark is actually acting in its own self interest, and the cumulative effect *LOOKS LIKE* cooperative hunting of the sort practiced by the pods of orca and other toothed dolphins and porpoises? BTW: would you ever consider DOING A VIDEO ON THE ANGEL SHARK? I realise it’s not a man-eating or biting torpedo-shaped mackeral or requiem shark more generally, but other species of shark--and there are many of them--without the classic torpedo shape of the requiem sharks are also pretty darned fascinating! The thresher shark, I think, is also one of the most neglected and under-studied shark species. Aside from their unique hunting technique in which it employs that glorious tail, it has several other intriguing behaviours that common viewers seldom see documented on film, bc they do not include the braindead sensationalisms of attacks on humans. This shark would also make a great feature CHEERS!

Not a Seven gill, but I did I get the chance to dissect an Hexanchus griseus (close enough I guess hehe) a few weeks ago It was a small pup, but the teeth were absolutely gnarly, but what most impressed me were its huge green eyes

[@davidmolenaar]

This is old episode but I live in WA state and have been informed that seven gill sharks in an outer coastal Willapa Bay were observed by gillnet fisherman of seeing seven gills crowding harbor seals in the shallows, presumably offering an opportunity to 'gang up' on corral seals. Second hand conversation I had with fisherman while working on a marine mammal project but interesting nonetheless

[@drualasdove]

I’m changing my request from a salmon shark to a salmon shark and porbeagle shark creature feature. As they seem very similar I think it would be cool to see a marine biologist give us an in depth video about their differences.

Sevengill sharks are actually quite cool.Theyre not a big animal, however.I watched a video about them and Orcas in the waters off New Zealand and it surprised me.The Orcas were hunting the sevengill sharks and obviously the sharks had no chance.But what really surprised me was, when a single orca closed in for the attack, the sevengill actually turned 180 degrees and charged at the orca and the orca backed off.Of course the shark was eventually killed, but these small sharks clearly pack a decent punch

[@FritzGDC]

Is there a link to donate to the rewilding project that was mentioned in the video?

[@greggoodson9082]

Probably been suggested before, but any chance of a Longfin Mako feature?

[@someguywithatophat7599]

my guess for the gills is along the lines of the water of the oceans being different when it was first evolving, could have had less/more of a certain element for when it was evolving, vs when more modern shark species were evolving. but im not a scientist or anything at all, its kind of just some wild shot in the dark, so def take this with a grain of salt hehe

[@adamhickey396]

My guess about the Sevengill sharks 7 gills is that this shark may well go to areas of the ocean where there is less oxygen in the water, so it has the 2 extra gill slits to breathe what oxygen may be in this water. Not sure about that though.

[@SHARKBYTES]

@@MrMalvolio29 this is a great question, the best answer I can give is that the Hexanchiformes are the oldest known group of modern sharks - their single dorsal fin placed far back on their almost eel like body, is likely a feature retained from even older shark lineages.
