Sharks belong to the Chondrichthyes class which means that they lack what is called "true bone". Their "skeleton" is made up of cartilage, which is the same as the human ear, so they do not have an actual skeleton.

Er, kind of.

The true fishes, or teleosts, have bones as we know them. If you bend them they give a little, then break.

The shark is an elasmobranch. ( Rhymes with rank, not ranch.) It has a skeleton like a teleost, but made of cartilage, not bone. If you try to break it, it bends, then springs back when you let go.

No, they have cartilage instead. Feel your ear, and that's the stuff inside a shark.

Sharks do not have bones so that they can turn and twist easier.

Yes, sharks have no bones. They have something called cartilage! Very similar to the stuff your nose or ears is made up of.

No, a shark does not have a bony skeleton. It has a cartilaginous skeleton, which means its bones are in fact made out of cartilage.
