Sharks have a unique digestive system that allows them to process bones effectively. Their stomachs produce strong acids and enzymes that break down tough materials, including bones, into smaller, digestible pieces. Additionally, sharks possess specialized teeth that help them crush and grind hard substances. This efficient digestive process enables them to extract nutrients from their prey, which often includes other marine animals with skeletal structures.

How do sharks eat bones?
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.
