Sharks have several adaptations that allow them to survive in cold ocean waters. Many species possess a unique physiological mechanism called regional endothermy, which enables them to maintain a higher body temperature than the surrounding water by retaining heat generated from their muscles. Additionally, sharks have a layer of insulating fat, known as blubber, that helps conserve heat. These adaptations allow them to thrive in environments where water temperatures can be quite low.
