Why are sharks teeth black that you find?

Shark teeth are made up of calcium phosphate, which is the mineral apatite. Although shark teeth are sturdier than the cartilage that makes up their skeleton, the teeth still disintegrate over time unless they are fossilized. This is why you rarely find white shark teeth on a beach.

Shark teeth are preserved if the tooth is buried, which prevents decomposition by oxygen and bacteria. Shark teeth buried in sediments absorb surrounding minerals, turning them from a normal whitish tooth color to a deeper color, usually black, gray or tan. The fossilization process takes at least 10,000 years, although some fossil shark's teeth are millions of years old! Fossils are old, but you can't tell the approximate age of a shark tooth simply by its color because the color (black, gray, brown) depends completely on the chemical composition of the sediment that replaced the calcium during the fossilization process.

What animal live near the tiger sharks?

This diverse ecosystem supports a wide range of wildlife that coexists with tiger sharks.

Is a stinkbug a vertebrate or invertebrate?

It's an invertebrate. Stinkbugs are insects (several species). All insects are invertebrates (they have no bones, let alone backbones).

Why are sharks adapted to where they live?

To ensure survival. Without adaptations, they would die to changing environments and prey. As with many animals in the sea, they are extremely sensitive when environments change too much. For example, with overfishing certain areas, sharks have the choice to starve to death or adapt. Sometimes, this forces sharks to search for food in new places and become more desperate. This can lead to higher shark attacks on people, since there is nothing left in the water. It is important for us to stop over-fishing the oceans because we are inevitabley risking our own lives.

What time of the day do sharks usually hunt?
