^{Tonic immobility is a reflex that causes a temporary state of inactivity in an animal. Similar to hypnosis. It occurs in a variety of different species, including many sharks and rays. This trance-like state can occur naturally. It can also be induced in sharks and rays by stimulating the tiny sensory pores located on their snout.}
%Tonic immobility is often used by researchers when handling sharks to subdue them. Whether in the wild, captivity, or a laboratory. Subduing them minimizes their struggling and reduces the possibility of injury. When the shark is gently turned on their back, it’s thought to disorientate them, causing them to enter the state. The shark’s muscles relax and their breathing becomes deep and rhythmic. When released the shark snaps out of this state.%
