Unhappy Not so good news...

Darn,



Crab, Shark Invasion May Threaten Antarctic Marine

Mason Inman
for National Geographic News
February 15, 2008


Antarctica's native marine life is under threat from invasions of king crabs and other predators, researchers said today.

As Earth's oceans heat up because of global warming, king crabs will likely expand into waters that were previously too chilly for them to survive.

Once established in their new habitat, the crabs will decimate native species that are unable to cope with strong, fast-moving predators that can crush their shells, Aronson said.

February 15, 2008—After 450 million years swimming the ocean, some shark species are on the verge of extinction—mainly due to over-fishing.
