Great White Shark: Sea Sponge

Rare Ability Dept: The fish, a toothy critter with a rare ability to survive in inhospitable environmental conditions, has been recorded in more than one-quarter of the world's marine waters, making it one of our most cosmopolitan marine species -- at least among those we know, according to Vancouver Sun. The census, which involved hundreds of scientists in more than 80 nations, and took 10 years and an estimated $650 million to complete, has so far gathered together an inventory of 114,000 known species, from the great white shark to the unassuming sea sponge and meet the manylight viper-fish, the Everyman of the deep ocean. That's just one of the many findings of a newly released landmark census aimed at answering one of humanity's oldest questions: What lives in the sea? As reported in the news.
