Nutrition for sharks primarily consists of a diet rich in protein, primarily obtained from fish, squid, and marine mammals, depending on the species. Sharks are carnivorous predators, utilizing their keen senses and powerful jaws to capture prey. They have specialized adaptations, such as sharp teeth and strong digestive systems, to efficiently process their food. Additionally, some species may also scavenge or consume smaller sharks and invertebrates, reflecting their opportunistic feeding behavior.
