What do sharks have in common with the female vagina?

Although it may seem like a joke, the truth is that there is an amazing concurrence between the two. By examining the ingredient list for vaginal discharge, we will discover a composition similar to that of serum: water, white blood cells, acetic acid, lactobacilli, albumin, and squalene.

The latter makes up the peculiarity coinciding with sharks. Squalene is a substance that can be found in the liver of sharks and is nothing more than a completely natural lubricating compound (sometimes even used in moisturizers). Sharks manage to float thanks to this natural lubricant because it is less dense than seawater.
