TONIC IMMOBILITY… 💣⚡️🦈 Tonic immobility in sharks is a natural, trance-like state of paralysis that some sharks enter when flipped upside down or stimulated in other ways. This state, also known as “animal hypnosis,” causes the shark to become temporarily motionless and unresponsive. Researchers and aquarists utilize this phenomenon to safely handle and study sharks, as it allows them to perform tasks like tagging or taking measurements without causing undue stress to the animal. #sharkweek #m
