No, There Aren’t Sharks In The Seine Like Under Paris

A major plot of land point inUnder Parisis that Lilith , the mutant shark , stalks the waters of Paris ' iconic river , the Seine , because it had to fly the befoulment in the ocean . Unlike inUnder Paris , however , in real life history , there are no shark in the Seine . As with any shark movie , Under Paristakes quite a few creative liberties with how it depicts sharks . Almost all of them depict shark as much more aggressive than they are in world , butUnder Pariswent a bit further with its premise and decided to show sharks in the Seine , a river they scientifically could n’t be in .

Why Sharks Don’t End Up In The Seine (Despite The River’s Connection To The Atlantic Ocean)

At surface level , the theme that shark could crop up in the Seine seems plausible . The Seine eventually connects to the Atlantic Ocean , meaning a shark could theoretically drown upstream . However , assportskeedaexplained , that would be impossible . The sharks in the Atlantic Ocean are specifically suit to a seawater environment , and they would n’t be able-bodied to subsist in the Seine ’s fresh water . They ’re adapted to the high common salt levels of the sea , and freshwater would actually exsiccate and stamp out them . Additionally , there are several locks between Paris and the sea , meaning sharks could n’t swim up it even if they could exist the H2O .

WhileUnder Parisdoes expect TV audience to set aside their unbelief in its assumption , that does n’t detract from its timber . It ’s still an excellent shark moving picture , and it even uses its temporary removal of disbelief to deliver a powerful message . Under Paristold a story about the danger of befoulment and disbelief in scientific discipline , and the grandness of protecting the environs and listening to the experts . The change it made to the way sharks are in reality helped make those messages knock-down , and helped makeUnder Parisone of the good shark picture show in recent memory .
