What makes a tiger shark unique?

Sharks have what you could call a special attribute they have a sixth sense. Sharks use the small canals that pepper their face to detect electricity from a wide area. This helps them to find their next meal or even a mate.

Also, the sharks have specially coloring. The grayish part on their backs helps them to camouflage with the grayish sandy ocean floor (if you were looking from the top of the water that is). The white-ish coloring on their bellies helps them to camouflage with the bright water or sunlight (if you are underneath the shark looking up). This helps their night or day time hunts.

Do bull sharks have predators?

  • Yes, because they know that killer whales are super incredibly powerful ocean predatory mammals. Killer whales are able to hunt and kill animals that are 2 times bigger than their actual size. They can kill whale sharks, sperm whales, great white sharks, tiger sharks, goblin sharks, angel sharks, giant squids, lemon sharks and including mako sharks. Nearly all sharks are scared of killer whales and have so much fear every single time they see killer whales.

Is a shark cold blooded?

Yes, they are a fish.
yes

Improved answer: Great White Sharks' body temperatures vary, but the temperature is internally regulated. This makes them very different from typical "cold-blooded" animals like reptiles, amphibians, and most fish that rely solely on their environment and diet to regualte their body temperatures. For example, the temperature around a great white's brian is typically 25 degrees warmer than the surrounding temperatures. The sharks' large size, physical activity, and metabolism allow it to regulate such temperatures.
Yes the great white shark is cold blooded. Since it is considered to be a rather large fish and lives in water which tends to vary in temperature it's considered to be cold blooded. Since fish are exothermic, meaning noting or pertaining to a chemical change that is accompanied by a liberation of heat, many species are capable of surviving in large temperature variations (so long as they are not too rapid) a change that quick and drastic would quickly kill most mammals. Therefore although mammals are warm blooded, they are far less tolerant of changes in temperature that deviate too far from whatever their species ideal is.

What color do sharks be?

They can be many basic colors. I'll name all of them and then count it after. They can be blue, gray, white, black, purple, yellow, green, and can be alittle pinkish with grey.

What do great whites like to eat the most?

Adult Great Whites are apex predators. Apart from the Orca (Killer Whale), there are no known predators that may attack or kill a Great White. In regions where both the Orca and the Great whites inhabit and compete for food, Orcas may attack and kill these sharks. Since Orca's are much larger than them, they can attack and even kill great whites.

What do sharks do for fun?

Sharks don't really display any "playing" behavior. That being said, some species will correlate in co-operative groups to work towards a common goal such as hunting or protecting. Also, in some species, females will group together to protect their unborn young. Scalloped hammerhead sharks also migrate in groups. For the most part, though, sharks are solitary predators and don't work well in groups and certainly don't "play."

Do sharks live in a bay?

A bull shark can live in fresh water. So i would say that it's possible for a shark to end up in a bay.

I agree with that ^ bull sharks have adapted to fresh water for having pups in rivers. It's common in places like Florida, with lots of waterways. They prefer salt water, but can swim up rivers if they need to. It's possible, but it depends on which bay. The Chesapeake bay hasn't had any reported for example. But remember, shark attacks are pretty rare.
