The shark is an very old animal; it has been in the sea for a very long time; it has new teeth constantly; its teeth are a modification of the outer skin of the shark; it is an endangered species because it is good to eat and the oceans are overfished. The reason the oceans are overfished is that governments cant get together and figure out that we all need a working ocean...together. The sharks, all species, are elasmobranchs. That, when you look it up, tells you all about their physical structure.

Why are whale sharks sharks not whales?
1) Whales are mammals and do not have gills, they come to the surface to breathe.2) Whale Sharks have gills and as other sharks receive oxygen through the water.3) Whales sharks have the same cartilaginous skeleton structure as other sharksTthe reason its called WHALE shark is because it is the largest of all the sharks, and as whales are the currently biggest mammals on the earth it only seems appropriate.No. it isn't a reptile.
Are sharks cartilaginous fish?
Yes, sharks are cartilaginous fish, meaning their skeletons are made of cartilage rather than bone. This cartilaginous structure allows sharks to be more flexible and lighter, which is beneficial for their buoyancy and swimming efficiency.
