This statement is not accurate. Sharks can vary greatly in size, with some species growing up to several meters in length. It is important to consider the specific species of shark when discussing their size.
there's no such thing as a common shark. There are over 400 species of sharks and not one can be deemed common. Lengths can vary from just under 2 feet to as long as almost 20 feet. Unless you seriously count the whale shark as a shark then it goes as high as 50 feet long.
It depends entirely on the species of shark. For instance, the Great White shark is Carcharodon carcharias, the bull shark is Carcharhinus leucas, the scalloped hammerhead shark is Sphyrna lewini, while the scalloped bonnethead (another species of hammerhead) is Sphyrna corona. There are over 470 species of sharks in the world. Regroup, rethink your question, and reask it.
not that i know of. i know that there's a shark called the Greenland shark and is basically blind because of the parasite worm that grows over it's eyelids causing the shark to be blind. hope this helps

A little Over half of an inch
3 inches is exactly 6 half-inches with no pieces of another half-inch left over. So there is no other half-inch that's closer to 3 inches than 3 inches already is.
Sharks are a group of fish with a skeleton of cartilage instead of bone. There are over 470 species of shark ranging from the dwarf lanternshark (6.7 inches long) to the whale shark (39 feet long). Their phylum is Chordata (having a backbone), and class is Chondrichthyes (cartilage skeleton).
