Porbeagle — size comparison — facts and sources
The porbeagle inhabits cold Atlantic and southern ocean waters. It has a compact, streamlined body and powerful tail. An active predator, it occurs both near coasts and offshore.
It eats herring, mackerel, cod and squid. It can retain some muscle-generated heat, keeping muscle temperature above the surrounding water. This helps maintain performance in cold environments while feeding and travelling.
