【ゆっくり解説】なぜここまで似た？イルカとサメ、何が違う？を解説/収斂進化が生んだ別物すぎる生き物…4億年の進化が生んだ“海の最適解”とは

Dolphins and sharks. These two creatures look remarkably similar in the ocean, but in reality, one is a mammal and the other is a fish. So why did they evolve to look so alike? This time, we'll explain the mysteries of evolution known as "convergent evolution," comparing their breathing, skeletal structure, reproduction, swimming style, intelligence, dangerousness, and relationship with humans. Furthermore, we'll discuss why orcas are considered dolphins, the differences between dolphins and whales, and whether sharks are truly dangerous. They look similar, but their inner selves are completely different. Please enjoy this look at the "optimal solution for the ocean" created by 400 million years of evolution.
