Sharks are Fascinating

Sharks are one of the most fascinating creatures in the ocean. They have been around for millions of years and come in all shapes and sizes. From the smallest whale shark to the largest great white shark, these predators are truly awe-inspiring.

Unfortunately, they are also one of the most misunderstood animals on the planet. Thanks to movies like Jaws, many people think of sharks as dangerous man-eaters when in reality, they pose very little threat to humans. In fact, you’re more likely to be struck by lightning than attacked by a shark!

There are hundreds of different species of sharks living in waters all around the world. They can be found in cold water near the poles or in warm tropical waters near the equator. Some sharks even live in rivers!

Sharks come in all different shapes and sizes, but they all have certain features in common. For example, all sharks have gill slits that they use to breathe underwater and a tough outer layer of skin called ‘dermal denticles’ that helps reduce drag while they swim.

One of the most impressive things about sharks is their sense of smell. Sharks can smell blood from up to 3 miles away! They also have keen eyesight and can see both in bright light and dark water. Their sense of hearing is also very acute; they can hear frequencies that humans cannot. All of these senses help them locate prey in the water so they can hunt more effectively.
