Sharks are one of the oldest creatures on Earth, with fossils
that date back to over 300 million years ago. There are approximately
200 to 250 species of sharks in our oceans. Most sharks live in warm
or tropical waters, but some do make their home in cold waters. Sharks
are thought of as aggressive fish, but only about 30 species of sharks
are considered to be dangerous. Sharks attack mainly when they are c
hungry, but they can also attack for other reasons such as defense, J
mistaking something for a different type of prey, blood in the water,
and the splashing or movement of swimmers. t
Sharks have skeletons of cartilage, rather than bone. They are J
generally torpedo-shaped fish, which makes them extremely fast -
swimmers. Sharks can be many colors, such as reddish brown,
bronze, metallic blue, gray, or nearly black. They can also have spots
or stripes. The characteristic fin that shows on the surface of the water
is called a dorsal fin. Sharks also have an anal fin and a caudal fin. r\
which is the shark's tail itself. They also have two pectoral fins to steer ^
and two pelvic fins in back. Sharks have five to seven gill slits, but
unlike other fish, most sharks must keep swimming in order to breathe."^^
Seventy percent of a shark’s brain is used for its sense of smell

Did you know that there once was a
prehistoric shark called a megalodon?
Now extinct, the megalodon lived
anywhere from 1.6 to 16 million years
ago. This giant shark weighed around
25 tons and was around 50 feet long.
It fed off of large fish and whales. The
term ‘megalodon’ is derived from the
Greek term ‘ Big Tooth”. A megalodon
tooth was around 6 inches long!
