Sharks

Sharks do have tastebuds because everything on this earth has tastebuds exept like flowers and things like that. Sharks need tastebuds to help chew their food and so that they can actually taste what they are eating. Bottom line is ... Everyone has tastebuds!

The weight of a shark can vary depending on the species. On average, sharks can weigh anywhere from a few hundred pounds to several thousand pounds. The largest species of shark, such as the whale shark, can weigh up to 40 tons.

Sharks can only see in shades of grey.

Findings from a study by Australian scientists, released in September 2012, show that sharks' eyes have just one type of cone opsin - or light-sensitive proteins found in the photoreceptor cells of the retina - instead of the two or more that are needed to see colour. Cone opsins are used to help animals see in bright light, and to differentiate between colours.

Sharks eliminate waste through their cloaca, which is a single opening for waste, reproductive materials, and eggs or sperm to exit the body. Waste products are expelled mainly as urine, which helps regulate the shark's internal salt levels.

A Shark's skin is made up of small minuet rectangular scales that have very small bristles and pines on them. these are called "placiod scales" or as the scientists calls them " Dermal denticles"

They also look like small tooth like shaped if you got them under a microscope. they are shaped with a curved edge but it has grooves in . this makes the shark's skin hard like armour.

The waters off Kenya are home to several species of sharks. Some of these include whale sharks, great white sharks, blacktip reef shark, hammerhead shark, bignose shark, bull shark, sandbar shark, African angel shark, and Mako shark.

They go really fast to eat a fish. They hide in the depths of the ocean and they sneak up on other fish- example, sharks could eat Catfish, Dogfish, Goldfish--whatever fish they can find that's not bigger then they are, they'll eat it. Sharks are unable to eat a whale--they are too big to eat.

shark fish DA u idiot I'm only 4 and i know this stuff

Sharks use their keen senses, like smell, vision, and electroreception, to find their food. They are skilled predators that rely on their speed, agility, and camouflage to catch their prey. Sharks also use hunting strategies such as ambush tactics and coordinated group hunting to secure their meals.

Thresher sharks can be found in tropical waters and cold temperate waters around the world but are most common in temperate waters. The common thresher is the most abundant species of them all

Malapascua Island in the Philippines is the only place in the world where Pelagic Thresher Shark can be seen on a daily basis. Threshercove.com

Sharks use their keen sense of smell to detect blood in the water, even in very small concentrations. They also rely on their vision and electroreception, which allows them to detect the electrical fields generated by prey animals. Sharks are opportunistic feeders and will search for food using a combination of these sensory abilities.

Pygmy sharks, such as the dwarf lanternshark, are found in deep ocean waters, typically around continental slopes and seamounts. They are most commonly seen in the waters around Central and South America. These sharks are known to inhabit depths ranging from 900 to 1,500 meters.

It is difficult to estimate the exact number of sharks worldwide in 2008 as there is limited data available. However, it is known that shark populations have been declining due to factors such as overfishing, bycatch, and habitat destruction.

Sharks, which are many species, come in many sizes, from the little dogfish (about two feet, full grown) to the whale shark (maybe 50 feet).

Any body who's ever watched Flipper knows that most sharks are leary of dolphins and porpoises. They can out swim sharks and ram them with their 'beaks'. This may not apply to the Great White Shark who is pretty impressive swimmer in its own right.

Placoid scales, also known as dermal denticles, are the tooth-like scales embedded in the skin of rays and sharks. They provide protection and reduce drag when swimming.

sharks contribute to the environment in many ways. They scavenge for food as well as hunt, so the ocean is alot cleaner than it would be if sharks became extinct. also, they help cull the weak and dieased. if they didn't, more of the fish could catch the disease, and their would be a dramatic change in the marine ecosystem.

that's not all, that's just some of the important stuff. if you have any more questions, you can contact me at sharkruler5000@gmail.com. im a huge shark fan!!!

On average, there are around 5-10 shark attack fatalities worldwide each year. It is important to note that the risk of a fatal shark attack is very low compared to other risks, such as drowning or car accidents.

The Shark Research Institute website is a reliable source of information on various shark species, conservation efforts, and research findings. National Geographic's shark section is also a great resource with articles, photos, and videos about sharks and their habitats.

Lemon sharks are apex predators in their environment, meaning they are at the top of the food chain. Their diet consists of a variety of fish, crustaceans, and occasionally small mammals. Larger sharks, such as tiger sharks or great white sharks, could potentially prey on lemon sharks.

Smooth Dogfish Sharks have a typical life cycle that includes mating, gestation period of about 10-11 months before giving birth to live young, and then the newborn sharks are independent and grow to maturity over several years. They typically live up to 16-20 years old in the wild.

Yes, the Shortfin Mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) is the fastest shark in the world. Though everyone had come to a general consensus about this, there is still debate as to how fast they can actually go - some say that they can only go a little over 20mph, however others say that it has been clocked at 60mph.

Carpet sharks can weigh anywhere from 1 to 9 pounds, depending on the species and size of the individual shark.
