Sharks have highly specialized teeth designed for tearing and cutting rather than chewing. When they consume prey with bones, their strong jaws can crush the bones or rip them apart, allowing them to swallow the softer flesh and digest the remaining material. Additionally, some shark species have a unique digestive system that can process and break down calcium from bones, minimizing waste. However, they do not specifically "eat" bones in the traditional sense but can digest small fragments if ingested.
