Question
Ms Dana

Is it possible for Human Beings to find Blood Groups of Eagle, Vultures - Big Birds and Sharks, Whales - Big Fishes in Atlantic, Pacific ocean ?

Thanks & Regards,
Prashant S Akerkar

Answer
Dear Prashant,

It is possible, since these animals do have immune systems and proteins embedded in their plasma membranes.  But I do not know of any studies that have identified blood immunoglobin groups in such species.  (There's your dissertation!)

Good luck,

Dana
