A leopard shark has five gill slits on either side of its body. The gill slits are on the sides of the shark's head.
Yes Sharks have gills, they are five slits located just in front of their pectoral fins. Without Gills a shark would not be able to breathe underwater.
5 only two species have more than that six and sevegill sharks have well... 6 and 7 gills
Coelacanths eat whatever they find as they drift in the current. Because they can lift the upper jaw as well as move the lower jaw, coelacanths can open their mouths quite far to suck prey from crevices
Spiny dogfish Squalus acanthias (also known as spurdog, piked dogfish and a number of other names) has five gill slits, all situated in front of the pectoral fins. This is according to Fishes of the Sea by John and Gillian Lythgoe (Blandford Press, 1991). The FAO FishBase (www.fishbase.org) is a good source of information on this and many other species of fish.
Gills are located in the fish's body, near the slits in its neck. :)
gill slits
The gills have external slits that bring water two the gills. A fish can draw water in through it's mouth, but when the mouth is closed, these slits cycle water past them.
Gill slits in sharks and rays help to funnel water into the gills, which empty into the pharynx and eventually the lungs.

They are called gills!

Gills I think, like pharyngeal gill slits ... maybe ....
Gill slits on land animals have almost completely disappeared. These animals that now live on land no longer need gills.

The "flaps" are simply covers. The fine gas transfering membranes are part of the fillaments inside and are protected from the covers "flaps". These membranes work in exactly the same way as the tissues in your lungs.
It would be more appropriate to say that all vertebrate embryos develop pharyngeal gill slits during one of the many phases in their embryonic development. This is because while gills are specifically present in fishes, pharyngeal gill slits are a general chordate feature.
