Some can be harmful to man and others are harmless. To delve into this interesting and diverse group of cartilaginous saltwater fish that have sharp teeth and a bad reputation, ask your questions in this category.

Sharks do not urinate as most animals do. Sharks convert urine to urea; a toxic compound which is really converted ammonia. Urea is absorbed in the flesh of the shark and expelled through the skin. When a shark dies this urea is converted back to ammonia. That is why shark meat has a slight ammonia taste and smell.
"Cartilaginous fishes such as sharks, rays, and skates, have plasma that is approximately isosmotic to seawater. This unusually high osmotic concentration (compared to that of other vertebrates) is maintained by high levels of urea and trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) in the blood. In most vertebrates, levels of urea this high would damage proteins, but the presence of the TMAO helps to stabilize these protein molecules against the adverse effects of urea. Excess inorganic electrolytes, such as Na+ and Cl- which diffuse into the blood at the gills, are excreted by way of the kidneys and also by means of a special excretory organ called the rectal gland that is located at the end of the alimentary canal."
What causes the obnoxious odor that sharks exude soon after they die?
The odor that sharks release after death is ammonia. It is caused when the organic compound that is found in sharks and known as urea is broken down. The urea is broken down into ammonia and therefore, the pungent smell of ammonia will be in the area.
What is a group of Tiger Sharks called?
A group of sharks is called a gam, grind, school, herd, pod, collage, or shiver.
A shark can be drowned if towed backwards by the tail. Water is forced the wrong way through the gills, making the shark unable to breathe - thus drowning it. How you set about pulling the shark backwards is entirely up to you...!
How are sharks and whales alike?
They both have the same shape body that make them able to swim in water
Yes. A shark is composed of many, many cells, just like any other animal or human.
Different species of sharks are found all around the world but mainly in warmer water. Australia is common for great white sharks!
in all ocean.
Most sharks are most popular around the equator. Sharks tend to grow larger, and therefore more successful in hotter places. This doesn't exclude your chances of finding a shark around the colder places; you can find them anywhere.
Do humans hunt the megamouth shark?
well they would but megamouth sharks live at deep deths and will only come to the surface for certain periods of time.
How can marine animals such as sharks live in a salt water?
It is thought that most primitive animals evolved to live in the sea. Indeed the composition of the clear part of Human blood is very much like sea water. The problem comes not for animals that live in the sea but when life spread from there to fresh water and then land.
In other words, the osmotic potential of the cells and bodies of marine animals is perfectly balanced with the osmotic potential of seawater. It is only when animals moved to freshwater and land that systems and energy needed to be expended to maintain the original seawater like osmotic potential of the cells and bodies of these animals against the osmotic potential of fresh water or indeed an arid external environment.
Yes. However, they are mostly indigenous to the more isolated coastal regions of Chile. They are most similarly related to, in a genetic sense, the Vetehinen of coastal Venezuela, rather than the sharks after which they are named. Contrary to popular belief, the Landshark is amphibious, meaning it can breath in both water and on land. Most people consider the Landshark (Terra partis) to be a fictional creature, reaching almost to the point of ridicule, whilst poachers kill off hundreds of these beautiful animals every year and sell the teeth, made of solid ivory, to selfish black market dealers. The Terra partis is becoming more and more endangered by the day, and humans sit back and laugh about their existence. Their diets consist of, surprisingly, fruits and vegetables they steal from the local Chilean fisherman's houses while they sleep. They achieve this almost unbelievable feat through years of stealth training under the shinobi tribes scattered along the western coast of South America. When the youthful Terra partis reaches its pinnacle of it's physical prime, it inherits the ancient Zodiac magic of the local mermen, knowing it would be impossible to sneak into houses with arthritis acting up at every turn. These unique creatures are one of the few others that have a system of religion alongside the humans. Stretching back before even the birth of Christ, these wonderful animals have collectively gathered together during the full moon to sing songs to the ancient Merman-Pixie-Fairies, that gave life to the Earth. Now, scientists are hard-pressed to understand this religion with crystal clarity, as Landsharkian is a more complex language than even English, which is widely accepted as the hardest language to learn. Also, they own half of America through illegal means, caused 9/11, and are indeed your father. 99% of them are alcoholics and every one thousand years, journey to space so that they can destroy other planets with their acid spit and rocket-shooting abilities the posses with their eyes. The same eyes, that if you stare long enough into, you will spontaneously combust into white flames of purity, cleansing the soul of the evil vampire spirit that inhabited your body at birth, through sacrificial means.
Yes. They are real. Just misunderstood.
Is there sharks at long beach California?
No reported sightings inside the breakwater, no recorded attacks in history. The water is too murky, the sea lions are huge, and sharks are probably afraid of all the gangbangers in the water.
Does anything eat the blue whale?
Yes, lots of creatures eat blue whales, however the whale will have to be dead before hand and no one creature will be able to eat a whole blue whale, and fish that would eat a carcass do not have the mental capacity to remember where the carcass is. But that's all just assumption and what little I know of marine life but I'm pretty sure most of it is right.
Hope it helped :) x
