a lateral line is used for collecting electromagnetic pulses in the water. it stretches from the sharks head to tail, and is filled with water. there are also tiny hairs growing inside the lateral line. these hairs pick up vibrations sent from the electromagnetic pulses. this is one way sharks find food.
