Do baby sharks drink milk from their mother?

Answer 1

no, sharks are fish not mammals and rarely give live birth. They do not produce "milk" for their young

AnswerNo, sharks are fish, in that they breath water using gills, wheareas mammals are categorized with land animals, which breath air using lungs. Sharks give live birth; in that perhaps most important sense they would fall into the category mammal. But sharks cannot produce milk, and mammal means giving milk in latin, although the name was derived a long time ago before modern science.

Answer 2

Do sharks breastfeed their young?

Only mammals breastfeed their young.

Sharks are fish.

Fish are not mammals.

SO they don't have mammary glands (breasts)

SO it's most unlikely that they breastfeed their young.

BUT

some sharks raise their young in a womb like mammals do!

The babies of some kinds live on the nutrition from eggs but some get nutrition directly from their mother through a placenta, just like us mammals.

Answer 3

No shark mothers do not eat their young. Surprisingly shark babies eat each other in the womb and usually only one survives.

Answer 4

Sharks exhibit a number of methods for nourishing their young during development, however, once born the young are completely independent and have no further interaction with their mother

Answer 5

Baby sharks feed the same as adult sharks. Baby sharks are born fully functional, so they are immediately capable of feeding as an adult.

Answer 6

The female shark has nothing to do with the young after she has laid a fertilised egg sac.

Answer 7

Yes, some mother fishes eat their babies.

Answer 8

yes they do eat fish for protein
