No. Sharks are ectothermic, which is commonly referred to as 'cold-blooded'. Sharks are fish, and all fish are ectothermic, as are reptiles and amphibians. Their body temperature is dependent on external environmental conditions.
No, sharks do not live in the Volga River. Sharks are primarily saltwater fish found in oceans and seas, while the Volga River is a freshwater river in Russia. The environmental conditions of the river, such as salinity and temperature, are not suitable for sharks to survive.
Sharks are under tremendous pressures from illegal finning practices. Which essentially kills the sharks solely for their fins. The finless sharks are dumped back in the sea.The Shark Research Institute (www.sharks.org) is one of a few environmental organizations dedicated to stopping this practice, completely.

Average life span in captivity for nurse sharks is around 25 years, however it is difficult to estimate the life expectancy for sharks due to it's environmental factors.
Some species of sharks are hermaphroditic, meaning they have both male and female reproductive organs. This allows them to switch between genders depending on environmental factors or social dynamics within their populations.
Sharks can die from various factors such as predation, disease, environmental changes, or human activities like overfishing and pollution. Additionally, sharks have a limited lifespan, and when they reach old age, their bodies may weaken, making them more vulnerable to death.

Sharks and cichlids are generally not compatible due to their vastly different environmental needs and behaviors. Sharks, being marine animals, require saltwater habitats, while cichlids are typically freshwater fish. Additionally, sharks can be aggressive and territorial, which can pose a threat to the more peaceful cichlid species. Therefore, it's best to keep them in separate environments suited to their specific needs.
Hammerhead sharks are endangered primarily due to overfishing, driven by demand for their fins, meat, and other body parts. They are often caught unintentionally as bycatch in commercial fishing operations. Additionally, habitat loss and environmental changes, such as climate change, further threaten their populations. Conservation efforts are essential to protect these unique sharks and their ecosystems.
