High5's Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Super cool. I wonder how long it took for it to evolve from cold to warm blooded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wot_fan Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Tuna are warm blooded From the linked article Other fish, like tuna -- agile predators near the top of the food chain -- can warm their muscles through similar processes, but their bodies cool when they dive to deep depths. They must return to the surface to warm back up, NOAA said. But the opah uses a unique set of gills that resemble a car radiator, which allow the fish to stay in cold depths full time.
