Does dolphins look like sharks a little?
only their dorsal fin looks like a shark but they have a long snout and sharks wave their tails side to side while dolphins move their tails up and down, they make high sqeaks, pops and whisltes to send out echoes which is how they find their food when the sound bounce back at them in water they cant see in. (echolocation). sharks are more aggresiive than a dolphin. dolphins will attack a human or something else if they feel threaetened enough. (so dont try to touch them if you see one in the ocean. people have been attacked and killed by dolphins because they scared them and felt threatned.)

Why does Benchley say that he would be unable to write Jaws today?
Because today he is more conscious about white sharks' attacks to people. They attack people when they mistake humans for their natural prey. Some decades back they were considered to eat people by choice. Benchley was not aware, nor no one else did by then.
Yes. Many fish have a skeleton made out bones like us humans.

How accurate are most things you hear on television?
Most TV reporters and other media personalities have an agenda. They want to change the world and are willing to use their platform to affect change. Given that fact, it's uncommon to find a news report that is very accurate and most are skewed toward the bias of the reporter. Reporting is seldom "fair and balanced".
What does a sharks second dorsal fin do?
It helps them steer in the water more easily and makes it easier for them to glide through the water, therefore making them faster.
The word "shark" obviously have no silent letters. There's a trick that the H might look like it's silent, but actually, the H is'nt silent because SH is a consonant digraph, which makes a deeper S sound. The single S makes a shallow S sound. The H in the consonant digraph is'nt really silent because the H is there to fuse together to make one new sound. If the H is'nt part of the consonant digraph, then the H is considered silent because the sound does'nt change, like for "rhino", the H is considered silent because RH is'nt a consonant digraph.
Obviously, "shark" have no silent letters because SH is a consonant digraph.

What are ways to avoid shark attacks while swimming in the ocean?
Well I have done loads of research on sharks, yeah you cannot avoid a shark attack, if they attack you they attack you, they are curious and getting a taste of you. Sharks infact do not like the taste of humans but if they are desperately hungry then they will bite you. This goes off the question a bit but if a shark attacks you, punch it right in the eye, that is the most vulnerable part of the shark and they should let go, you know what it feels like being poked in the eye!!!
I guess if you wanted to avoid sharks then stay in groups if you want to go out deep because sharks do not usually attack groups of people, if you do see a shark remain calm no matter what, if you start splashing around and screaming like a loonatic then the shark will think that you are in distress or something, in other words like a wounded animal, perhaps a seal so they will probably attack you, if you have any open wounds definitely do not go swimming, sharks can pick up the smell of blood from quite a distance, that will make them come for you. If you are not a confident swimmer don't even go out deep, sharks don't often go in the shallow.
It will be unusual seeing a shark in the day time because they prefer coming out at night, they never sleep as they have to stay on the move constantly. They can also see perfectly in the night under the sea, so if you were to go swimming at night I would say you are crazy, that is their feeding time.
