well, there is a variety of animals that eat worms, but the only sea animal that comes to mind is fish. Turtles may eat worms, but its uncertain. other land animals that eat worms are birds, shrews, moles or naked mole rats.
Why are great white sharks deadly?
They are significantly larger than most other kinds of sharks and swim in similar areas as humans. Their common food choice is seal and humans, especially when on surfboards) are similar looking from the mind of a shark. Sharks often do not mean to kill their victims but only intent to see whether they are seal of not through a process called 'test biting'. However, their massive jaws leave bites too large for humans to survive. This is also why humans are not often eaten by sharks and usually bleed out before they can get to a hospital. Hope this helps.
Recent evidence shows that white sharks often will hit a prey item, administer a lethal bite, then wait for the prey to die, to avoid injury from struggling victims. Most humans are pulled from the water rather quickly, so the shark sometimes has no time to consume the victim. Human remains have been found numerous times in white shark stomachs, so the "mistaken identity" theory may be incorrect.
It is very unlikely, but if it does bite you on land, it would probably be by the shore.
Do dogfish breathe with gills?
yes they do. they are just like any other shark in that matter
they also have a thing called a spiracle behind their eyes (its viewable form the outside) which helps move water over their gills so they do not have to swim constantly to get water flowing over the gills to breath.

What is the importance of a shark?
1. Bull Shark 2. Tiger Shark 3. Great White 4. Blue Shark 5. Oceanic White and Black Tips 6. Marco Sharks 7. Hammer Head 8. Lemon Sharks 8. Nurse Sharks. Bronze Whalers, Goblin Sharks are scarce and no one really knows how dangerous they are. Goblin Sharks are sharks of very Deep Oceans and are Bottom feeders. This why no one really has encountered them very much. There are no reports of deaths caused by these two sharks. The Bronze Whaler has caused some serious injuries. They have the potential to be dangerous. Thresher Sharks feed on Mackeral and are found in the Meditteranean. Sharks are very important as they are a top of the Food Chain Predator. They are perfectly adapted hunters, who remove the weak and Ill fish in the Sea. They are all specialised feeders with their own niches. The Great White is a shark of Open and Deep water prefering the Atlantic. It can increase its own body temperature raising it. All Sharks can sense 'Blood in the water' from injured fish from up to three miles away, even when it is in so many parts per million. The organ of Lorenzi, means the Shark senses it prey by the electical impulses and electrical signals, the muscles of the Fish, give off. Great Whites feed of Pinepeds Seals from South Africa to Californa. Tiger Sharks are a shark of the pacific. They come in to very shallow water near Beaches. They have attacked more Humans then the Great Whites and killed them. They are ominivorous and eat all types of food including Sea Birds. Marco Sharks are sharks of Open Water and are the fastest Sharks of the Ocean. They have been known to leap out of the water and destabilize Boats. Blue Sharks are Deep Ocean Water Sharks. They take the Survivors of plane crashes or Boats that have sunk. Oceanic White Tip and Black Tips, feed on the edge of Reefs and take sick and Injured Fish. Hammer Heads, Wobbegongs, Lemon, Nurse Sharks are all bottom feeders. The Hammer Head uses its hammer shaped head to nose around in Mud. Bull Sharks hunt in Estuarys and The Sea. They are aggressive and territorial. They are the most dangerous shark and have killed more humans than Great White and Tiger Shark. All shark attacks are accidental. If attacked by one the swimmer, diver etc should attempt to guage its eyes out or hit it on the nose, as the Shark is sensitive there. Whale Sharks are the largest and heaviest. Both the Whale and Basking Shark eats plankton so are harmless to humans.
To what system does the lateral line belong?
The lateral line belongs to the lateral line system. This helps to stream line fish in water and to keep them afloat.
What survival advantage does a torpedo like shape give a shark?
The shape itself of a torpedo, like Architeuthisor Mesonychoteuthis, does not give much advantage to a large shark attack.
On the other hand, the torpedo shape powered by the squid «jet propultion» does allow evasion rapid mouvement defence, which may play a significal advantage.
The Colossal Squid, as well as other large squids (like the Humboldt squid), are very agressive, and not an easy pray.
However, not much is scientifically known for sure about interactions between large squids and large sharks. Many sharks prey on squids, not always with success for sharks.
Even the Sperm whale can loose the battle against a very large Colossal squid...
This is still a theme of much debate in marine sciences.

Shark Power cream is a sexual aid that is used to increase blood flow to the penis. The maker of Shark Power cream labels the product as safe to use without any side effects.
Relatively little is known about diseases that affect sharks.
One form of evidence that could be twisted around to suggest sharks carrying diseases would be their sometime seemingly "out of character" unprovoked attacks on swimmers and boats, especially boats.
The reasoning is this. Some diseases cause fever. Some fevers have led to documented cases of bizarre (out of the ordinary) behavior in humans.
Most types of sharks are cold blooded, so fever would probably not be a factor for them. On the other hand, great white sharks, and one or two other species, do have temperature control systems, so they might be considered as fever candidates.
Next time a shark bites you, check his or her temperature.
What physical adaptations does a tiger shark have to catch its pray?
Tiger sharks eyes have excellent vision in low light and can detect electric fields and tiny vibrations in the water. They can also adjust their eyes quickly according to how light or dark the water is. These adaptations allow the tiger shark to detect hidden prey. The jaw of the tiger shark is adapted to be wide and powerful, enabling it to eat and destroy anything. The tiger sharks teeth are adapted to be very sharp and serrated, so that it can tear up all its pray, including seals, birds, fish, other sharks and even turtle shells! The teeth are also replaced over and over through the life of the shark. This is so that when the tooth wears down, it is simply replaced by a new tooth. The tiger shark also has lateral line receptors . These are thin lines on the body that sense vibration movement,water pressure, temperature and sound. These help the shark to detect prey. The shark also has a great sense of smell, which helps them to detect prey from a long way away. Tiger sharks have stripes on their body, which help them to survive because it helps them blend in. Tiger sharks have fins that help them to swim so they can escape from predators, but they also have them to catch prey. The caudal fin is the fin with the most power, and it really proprels the shark along.
