It depends on the type of shark. Most do pull their victims underwater after taking a good sized bite. If they didn't swallow them whole in one bite......

Do sharks need to come up for air?

Sharks need to breathe, but they don't breathe air. They use their gills to "pull"oxygen from the sea water. They need to keep moving and breathing or they will die. Go to http:en.wikipedia.org and go to sharks. It's a free encyclopedia you can use for anything. Have fun I love sharks!!! Actually sharks don't use their gills to pull in oxygen, sharks' gills cannot take in water (which has oxygen in it) without either being in motion, or resting in a current. When the water flows over the gill slits blood in the gill filaments absorbs oxygen from the water being pumped over them, which is then carried to the muscles and organs in the rest of its body. Shark's gills are not covered. There is a spiracle, which is a modified slit, just behind the eye.

How much weight can a Great Pyrenees pull?

Before ever having a Great Pyrenees pull anything, it should be in good physical condition, free of orthopedic problems and of a normal weight for its age. No pup under 18 months should pull anything heavier than the cart itself, and pups under 12 months should not pull even that, although they can be trained to accept the harness. Once the dog is trained to pull, it can comfortably pull a weight equal to it's body weight, which can be 160 pounds, or more. Dogs trained for weight pulls can, and do, pull heavier weights for short distances, but that kind of pulling should be left to professionals.
