Is it true that sharks can survive in extremely hot volcanic waters?
Unclear. One report describes sharks living inside an active underwater volcano, and a study notes sharks aggregating at warm power-plant effluent. Neither measures the water temperature, so the claim of surviving in extremely hot volcanic waters is only partially supported.
