The Megalodon, Carcharodon megalodon, was largest shark of all time. It lived from the late Oligocene to early Pleistocene epochs, 20 to 1.5 million years ago. This giant of a shark was a huge version of the current great white shark. The word megalodon is a Greek word and means big tooth. Megalodon had teeth, which are among the largest ever found, over 18 cm long. The are believed to be as long as 16 meters and weigh over 60 tons. Megalodon hunted large and medium-sized whales, attacking the bony areas, such as chest or fins. This would stop the whale, or it could kill quickly with a fatal bite to the chest region. Megalodon could bite with the one of the strongest bites in the animal kingdom's history. The skeleton of a Megalodon was made of cartilage, so it will be impossible to find complete remains of these animals. Megalodon teeth, however were bone and can be found in all oceans, which shows that the sharks were all over the world.

GIVING BIRTH TO LIVE SHARKS (VIVIPARITY). The female gives birth to live offspring, just like mammals, and they are born fully developed. There is a placental link to the eggs since they feed on the placenta. Specifically, the yolk sac develops within a placenta that is attached to the wall of the uterus and gives the offspring the nutrients necessary for their growth. Examples of viviparous are hammerhead sharks (Sphyrnidae family), the bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas) and the blue shark (Prionace glauca). These species give birth to live sharks which they abandon after the delivery. Newborn sharks instinctively know how to survive alone. Shark mothers do not take care of their young.

Evidence of How Long Sharks Have Been Around. Sharks have lived in the Earth's oceans for as many as 450 million years -- long before dinosaurs roamed on land. These ancient creatures have adapted to survive five mass extinctions. The earliest sharks probably didn't look much like modern sharks, and they stayed close to shore in search of prey.

Regardless sharks are cold blooded, they live either in warm, temperate and cold waters. Some species live mainly in cold waters, while some others prefer warmer waters. SHARK MIGRATION. One thing is for sure; sharks migrate to find new sources of food and they can travel up to hundreds of miles to do that. Most species of sharks live in the oceans. However, some of them are known to dwell in bodies of freshwater, like the bull shark which travels up to 4,000 Km up the Amazon River. Sometimes, sharks reach freshwater bodies; this could be the result of the destruction of their habitat by human activities.

The Ground Sharks are the largest of shark orders with 277 currently identified species which includes many of the most typical, well known sharks as well as some unusual and potentially dangerous ones. Ground Sharks include Bull Sharks, Hammerheads, Blacktip, and Catsharks. While some of the Shark orders show great diversity as well as highly specialized characteristics, Ground Sharks enjoy more commonality within their order. They tend to be generally adapted, able to flourish in a broad array of habitats and enjoy a wide range of prey.

Dolphin teeth are more for catching fish than for tearing apart large prey, as sharks' teeth are. And sharks have very tough skins--hard to tear. But dolphins have a hard rostrum--beak--that's perfect for ramming. Sharks can and do kill and eat dolphins, which are highly nutritious for a shark. Dolphins aren't equipped to eat sharks, however, except for Orcas, which while called a whale, are really the largest species of dolphin. For other dolphins, then, they have no reason to kill a shark for food--just for defense--and dolphins have been known to swim off when a shark attacks one member of a pod.

Today, the largest shark roaming the oceans is the huge whale shark. Unlike the megalodon, whale sharks are not predators. Instead, they're slow-swimming giants that eat mainly plants and plankton. Although not the size of the megalodon, whale sharks are still really big. They can grow to be over 40 feet long and weigh over 15 tons, which makes them the largest fish in the world.

Geographic Range. Tiger sharks are found in many subtropical and tropical waters, primarily from 45Â°N to 32Â°S. Tiger sharks have been sighted from the eastern coast of North America to the eastern coast of Brazil. This includes the coasts of southern North America, Mexico, and Latin America along the Gulf of Mexico.iger sharks are some of the largest predators in the ocean and have few species feed on them. Some juvenile tiger sharks, however, fall prey to other sharks. Female tiger sharks gives birth in a nursery, which provides protection during the birthing process and to pups in the absence of parents.

The pup (which is what a baby shark is called) will live its life at the top of the ocean's food chain. But before it grows larger, the pup must avoid predators bigger than it isâincluding other great white sharks. Many baby sharks do not survive their first year. Young great white sharks eat fish (including other sharks) and rays. As it grows, the shark's favorite prey becomes sea mammals, especially sea lions and seals. Sharks count on the element of surprise as they hunt.

Best Answer: The sharks body chemistry is designed to live in salt water. The concentration of salt on the inside of their cells matches the concentration of the water they live in. If you moved a shark to fresh water they would die. Water will always move through a membrane (like skin or a cell membrane) in order to make the concentrations on both sides match. So, it the concentration is lower outside the shark water will be pulled in the sharks cells to try to dilute them.

However, very broadly speaking, most sharks live for between 20 and 30 years. The Spiny Dogfish lives for over a century, and some Whale Sharks have been known to do the same.

Life Cycle. Every shark species has its own expected life span and so it is wrong to set an average for sharks as a whole. However, very broadly speaking, we can say that most sharks live for between 20 and 40 years. The Spiny Dogfish lives for over a century, and Whale Sharks are expected to be similar.

Description. The spiny dogfish is one of the most abundant demersal shark species in Atlantic Canada and may be the most abundant shark species worldwide. This shark is a major predator on several commercially significant species such as herring, Atlantic mackerel and squid.s a very long-lived, slow-growing and late to mature shark, spiny dogfish are particularly vulnerable to fishing and slow to recover from over-exploitation. The major threat to this species in Atlantic Canada is bycatch.

While some species inhabit shallow, coastal regions, others live in deep waters, on the ocean floor and in the open ocean. Some species, like the bull shark, are even known to swim in salt, fresh and brackish waters. Most sharks are especially active in the evening and night when they hunt. Some sharks migrate over great distances to feed and breed. This can take them over entire ocean basins. While some shark species are solitary, others display social behavior at various levels.

It is believed that the average size of the megalodon was between 12 metres (39 ft) and 18 metres (59 ft). But the size of a modern female blue whale is over 30 mtrs (115 feet) which makes so far as we know the largest animal that has ever existed.(Until we find fossils of something bigger). So the Megalodon was probably bigger than some smaller whales but not the Blue whale.Also since sharks don't have a bony skeleton this size is an estimation based on the assumption that the size to tooth ratio is the same of present large sharks but this could be in error.

Examples of shallow water sharks are the nurse, the hammerhead, the sandbar, the great white and the tiger shark. Pelagic sharks are shortfin makos and whale sharks. Deep water sharks, such as catsharks, goblin sharks and megamouth sharks, stay in cold water all year round.lthough large temperate sharks will travel into tropical waters, they will swim only at depths where the temperature is in their preferred range. Smaller sharks are much more affected by heat and cold and stay within their limits. Sandbar sharks like water temperature between about 15Â°-30Â°C (59&deg-86&degF).

You seriously have no idea how many more sharks are killed by people than people are killed by sharks. By Colin Lecher posted Apr 19th, 2013 at 2:00pm Sharks have been mythologized in our culture as ruthless brutes and hunters, but the truth is humans are way, way more of a threat to sharks than sharks are to us. About 100 million sharks are killed annually, mostly related to finning (when the shark fins are sliced off and sold, often for soup). Marketer Joe Chernov wanted to visually express how the amount of shark attacks that kill people in a year stacks up against the number of people attacks that kill sharks. (It takes four seconds for us to kill the number of sharks that kill us in a year.)

Whales live in the oceans of the world, but of course they must surface to breathe air. They are migratory and do not stay in one specific location, which is why whaling ships â¦ had to remain at sea for long periods of time to follow their migrations.he Whale Shark is found in tropical and warm oceans, lives in the open sea with a lifespan of about 70 years in the sea Whale sharks live in warm water (near the equator) bot â¦ h along the coast and in the open seas.

Because of the lack of light, some species do not have eyes, however, those possessing eyes in this zone include the viperfish and the frill shark. Many forms of nekton live in the bathyal zone, such as squid, large whales, and octopuses. In the bathyal, some of the world's largest whales feed.

Sometimes; all sharks are predators after all. Most shark species (about 80 percent) have never been known to attack humans. There are four shark species that have always been considered dangerous to humans: great white shark, tiger shark, bull shark and oceanic whitetip shark. 17 other species of sharks have also attacked humans.

It is a prehistoric shark that lived (literally) a few billion years ago. It weighed about the same as three school buses. It jaw size was about three times as big as a gâ¦reat whites 0.o There are rumors going on that there is still one in the world... *** *** *** The megalodon shark (C. megalodon) did not lived billions of years ago. It appeared in the fossil registers about approximately 28 millions of years ago, during the late Oligocene, and the more recent fossil found is a tooth from the Calabrian stage of the Pleistocene epoch, only to 1.5 million years ago.

The primary shark predators of bottlenose dolphins are the bull shark, tiger shark, dusky shark and great white shark. Shark bite scars on dolphins indicate that sharks typically attempt to ambush dolphins from behind and below. Some researchers think that shark attacks may not even be an attempt to eat a dolphin.

Sand tiger shark. Not to be confused with sand shark, tiger shark, or nurse shark. The sand tiger shark (Carcharias taurus), grey nurse shark, spotted ragged-tooth shark, or blue-nurse sand tiger is a species of shark that inhabits subtropical and temperate waters worldwide.

White sharks, also known as great white sharks, are the #1 shark species that cause unprovoked shark attacks on humans. These sharks are the species made infamous by the movie Jaws. According to the International Shark Attack File, white sharks were responsible for 314 unprovoked shark attacks from 1580-2015. Of these, 80 were fatal.

The shark's nose may work so well because it doesn't have to do anything else. Sharks use their noses just for smelling. Breathing is accomplished with a shark's gills, and the shark's sense of smell is not connected to its mouth in any way. Sharks often don't know how something is going to taste until they've taken a bite. This is how some people are able to escape from a shark attack -- the shark gets a little nibble of a foot and decides to reject the prey. Can sharks hear as well as they smell?

Best Answer: If you are asking which is more dangerous, both sharks and whales has their species that can be potentially dangerous. Even though Great white sharks is the most intimidating of all sharks, they're not the most aggressive sharks.Tiger sharks are way more aggressive than the Great white sharks. shark is more dangerous than a whale because whales eat krill. Sharks eat meat but that doesn't mean they would just swim up and eat you. A shark would only hurt a person if you were in its territory,you were surfing and looked like a seal from below, or if it was desperately hungry.

Carbon dioxide is the most important long-lived global warming gas, and once it is emitted by burning fossil fuels such as coal and oil, a single CO2 molecule can remain in the atmosphere for hundreds of years. Global CO2 emissions reached a record high of 35.6 billion tonnes in 2012, up 2.6 percent from 2011.y Andrew Freedman. The last time there was this much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Earth's atmosphere, modern humans didn't exist. Megatoothed sharks prowled the oceans, the world's seas were up to 100 feet higher than they are today, and the global average surface temperature was up to 11Â°F warmer than it is now.

Life Cycle. Every shark species has its own expected life span and so it is wrong to set an average for sharks as a whole. However, very broadly speaking, we can say that most sharks live for between 20 and 40 years.

Tiger shark is known as voracious carnivore (meat-eater). Regular prey of tiger shark includes dolphins, fish, turtles, dugongs, sea birds, stingrays, sea snakes â¦. Tiger sharks are definitely not picky eaters.iger sharks are the second most dangerous species of sharks for humans. Unlike great white sharks (which are the most dangerous), tiger sharks will often eat victim after attack. Luckily, encounters between tiger sharks and humans are rare.

The name bull shark comes from the shark's stocky shape, broad, flat snout, and aggressive, unpredictable behavior. In India, the bull shark may be confused with the Sundarbans or Ganges shark. In Africa, it is also commonly called the Zambezi River shark or just Zambi.he bull shark is a special case in evolutionary history. Some of its closest living relatives do not have the capabilities of osmoregulation. The bull shark's genus, Carcharhinus, is shared by the sand bar shark that is not capable of osmoregulation.

Sharks and remora fish work together. A not so picky eater the remora fish attaches itself the the shark. These fish also attach to whales, tuna, sea turtles and many other large sea animals. The remora fish attaches to the belly of the shark by a sucker disc in it's mouth. It travels everywhere the shark goes. It eats any parasites on the shark which helps keep the shark clean. It also eats any leftover food from the shark. The remora (sucker fish) gets to eat and the shark stays clean and healthy.

Shark tooth. A shark tooth is one of the numerous teeth of a shark. A shark tooth contains resistant calcium phosphate materials. Sharks continually shed their teeth; some Carcharhiniformes shed approximately 35,000 teeth in a lifetime, replacing those that fall out. There are four basic types of shark teeth: dense flattened, needle-like, pointed lower with triangular upper, and non-functional. The type of tooth that a shark has depends on its diet and feeding habits. In some formations, shark's teeth are a

There are 2 pores on the top of a shark's head called endolymphatic pores, which connect to the shark's inner ear. Sharks have good directional hearing. They are sensitive to low frequencies, and can hear up to a kilometer away. Some sharks feel their prey move around them. They can sense a lot of things. Sharks actually have no external ears. They have internal ears that are also used for balance and equilibrium. There are 2 pores on the top of a shark's head called endolymphatic pores, which connect to the shark's inner ear. Sharks have good directional hearing.

Sharks are found in all seas and are common to depths of 2,000 metres (6,600 ft). They generally do not live in freshwater although there are a few known exceptions, such as the bull shark and the river shark, which can survive and be found in both seawater and freshwater.

The biggest ever tiger shark is believed to have measured 7.3 metres and weighed 6,860lbs. The shark was caught off the China-Indonesia coast. Worldwide, 1.5bn BCE. The biggest shark ever to have lived is the Carcharodon megalodon.

Most species of sharks are found in the oceans. However, some of them are known to live in bodies of fresh water, like the bull shark which is known to travel up to 4,000 Km up the Amazon River. Sometimes, sharks have been found even in unusual fresh water bodies.

Life Cycle of Sharks. Sharks have been the most feared and wild marine creatures. These animals have been prowling in the oceans for around 400 million years and have evolved into 440 different species. Sharks are known to live for many years.

When the shark attacks Hooper's cage, there's live footage of a real Great White with a rope hanging from its mouth. This shark's mouth is clearly much smaller than the shark's mouth when it attacks the boat moments later.

Most species of sharks have five pairs of gill slits on each side of their head, but a few have six or seven pairs. The gills are crucial to a sharks breathing system. By opening its mouth, water is drawn into the shark. The open mouth gives the appearance of a smile in many sharks. When a shark closes its mouth, the water is forced over its gills and the tiny blood vessels in shark gills absorb oxygen from the water. To aid water flowing over its gills most sharks swim forward all the time, called ram ventilation, and is characteristic of more active open ocean sharks.

Answer: Sharks live in every ocean in the world, however studies published have shown that up to 70% of oceans are free of sharks. Sharks are not territorial like most animals are, so they change frequently their habitat. As many other fish, females do not stay to take care of eggs.

Why age sharks? Sharks are long-lived animals that grow very slowly and do not produce many young. In many parts of the world, sharks are fished commercially, thus, in order to ensure proper management of the stocks, age and growth data must be obtained.

Most sharks bear live young (viviparity), others lay eggs. Several shark species mate the entire year, others prefer certain seasons and regions. The females of some shark species bear young each year, others stop reproducing at irregular intervals which can last several years.

The truth is that most sharks are carnivorous and efficient predators, although some others feed on plankton. It depends on the type of shark as various species have different feeding habits. Shark feeding also depends on where they live because this is the main factor to define the kind of prey available.

SHARK LIVER OIL Overview Information. Shark liver oil is used to make medicine. It is taken from the livers of three species of shark: the deep sea shark (Centrophorus squamosus), the dogfish (Sqaulus acanthias), and the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus). The liver makes up about 25% of the total shark body weight of these sharks. Shark liver oil is used along with usual cancer drugs to treat leukemia and other cancers; to prevent radiation illness from cancer X-ray therapy; to prevent the common cold, flu, and swine flu; and to boost the bodyâs immune system.

In contrast, sharks (which are cartilaginous fish) produce relatively few young. Sharks have a variety of reproductive strategies, although they can be divided into two main groups - those that lay eggs, and those that give birth to live young. Read more about the reproductive strategies of sharks below.

There are more fish than tetrapods (land vertebrates): there are over 33,000 described species of fish. Fish are usually covered with scales. They have two sets of paired fins and several unpaired fins. Most fish are cold-blooded (poikilotherm). A fish takes in the oxygen from the water using gills. There are many different kinds of fish. They live in fresh water in lakes and rivers, and in salt water in the ocean. Some fish are less than one centimeter long. The largest fish is the whale shark, which can be almost 15 meters long and weigh 15 tons.

The typical lifespan in the wild for Hammerhead Sharks is from 20 to 30 years approximately. Sandbar sharks or Brown sharks are considered to live between 20 and 30 years. Research made by Joung (2004) identified to be about 20 years of age.

Shark diet also adapts to survive. Some shark species may prefer certain types of prey, but when they are scarce, they adjust their eating habits to whatever is available. Sharks arenât picky with their food sources. Some sharks have been known to eat items including coal, oil, trash, and clothing that finds its way into the water. Sharks classification split into two groups according to their diet: CARNIVOROUS SHARKS. A carnivorous shark diet usually includes fish, mollusks, and crustaceans. Large species also consume marine mammals such as seals, dolphins, sea lions, and porpoises, as well as large fish species such as tuna, mackerel, and even smaller shark species. Some even extend their consumption to seabirds.

Capture-induced parturition is rarely considered in fisheries management despite being shown to occur in at least 12% of live bearing sharks and rays (88 species to date). The majority of shark fisheries have little monitoring or management. The rise in demand for shark products increases pressure on fisheries.

Is it possible mainstream science has it wrong, and the Megalodon shark is still out there somewhere? In this article we'll take a look at some compelling evidence and stories that suggest Megalodon is still with us. In the end, it's up to you to decide: Is the Megalodon Shark still alive? Could Megalodon Still Live? There are some truly huge sharks in the world today, but the idea of a living Megalodon is something else entirely.

Most species in this order grow quite large. The largest living species is the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus) of the world's northern temperate oceans, also the second largest fish. The largest specimen, which was examined in 1851, measured 12.3 m (40 ft) long and weighed 16 tonnes.

Carbon dioxide is the most important long-lived global warming gas, and once it is emitted by burning fossil fuels such as coal and oil, a single CO2 molecule can remain in the atmosphere for hundreds of years. Global CO2 emissions reached a record high of 35.6 billion tonnes in 2012, up 2.6 percent from 2011.Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases warm the planet by absorbing the sunâs energy and preventing heat from escaping back into space.y Andrew Freedman. The last time there was this much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Earth's atmosphere, modern humans didn't exist. Megatoothed sharks prowled the oceans, the world's seas were up to 100 feet higher than they are today, and the global average surface temperature was up to 11Â°F warmer than it is now.

In captivity, whale sharks are not comfortable, and in a few cases they have died within days, but at most, they have reached only eight years. Some scientists believe that the life expectancy of the Great White Sharks is around 30 years (Levine, 1988) but other research indicates that they can reach up to 40. The lifespan of Tiger Sharks in the wild is believed to be 27 years in average, although some may live up to 50 years of age.

-Tiger sharks, great white sharks, and other sharks that primarily eat seals and other mammals have sharp, serrated cutting teeth for tearing off chunks of flesh. -Finally, we have the gentle giants of the shark family, the basking sharks and whale sharks, that eat krill and other forms of plankton. While they have many teeth, they are tiny and useless, as these sharks feed by filtering water through their gills.

Killer whales sometimes develop a taste for shark livers and will kill white sharks for it, even large whites. well it depends sharks can eat sharks but i dont know what type. but sharks are vicous creatures and they usally win. The whale shark and the basking shark certainly aren't vicious creatures. Only about 5, out of 350, species are known to attack man and even then they don't do it very often.

Joe Chernov and Robin Richards have created an infographic that illustrates the staggering number of sharks killed by humans every year. According to the infographic, sharks killed 12 people last year, but humans kill that many sharks every four seconds, adding up to an estimated total of 100 million sharks annually. Many sharks are killed by 'finning,' a process in which a shark's fins are cut off to be sold for shark fin soup.

It was once believed that all sharks had to swim constantly in order to breathe and could not sleep for more than a few minutes at a time. Oxygen-rich water flows through the gills during movement allowing the shark to breathe. While some species of sharks do need to swim constantly, this is not true for all sharks. Some sharks such as the nurse shark have spiracles that force water across their gills allowing for stationary rest. Sharks do not sleep like humans do, but instead have active and restful periods.

Shark finning. Shark finning refers to the removal of fins from sharks, often while the shark is alive. The sharks are sometimes discarded back to the ocean, still alive but without their fins. Unable to swim effectively, they sink to the bottom of the ocean and die of suffocation or are eaten by other predators. Shark finning at sea enables fishing vessels to increase profitability and increase the number of sharks harvested, as they only have to store and transport the fins, by far the most profitable part o

In general, sharks do not eat humans. Despite their scary reputation, sharks rarely ever attack humans and would much rather feed on fish and marine mammals. Only about a dozen of the more than 300 species of sharks have been involved in attacks on humans. Sharks evolved millions of years before humans existed and therefore humans are not part of their normal diets. Sharks are opportunistic feeders, but most sharks primarily feed on smaller fish and invertebrates. Some of the larger shark species prey on seals, sea lions, and other marine mammals.

An important lesson: we need sharks! Where sharks are eliminated, the marine ecosystem loses its balance. In the parts of the ocean where sharks have been fished out of existence, we can see the dangerous result of removing the top predator from an ecosystem. The lesson is important. Sharks are being killed for their fins for shark fin soup, a food that has assumed cultural value but is not important for human survival or health. However, removing the sharks can result in the loss of important foods that we do depend upon for survival.

Based on cytochrome b genes, Martin and Naylor (1997) concluded the thresher sharks form a monophyletic sister group to the clade containing the families Cetorhinidae (basking shark) and Lamnidae (mackerel sharks).s a result, the long-tailed or common thresher shark, Alopias vulpinus, is also known as the fox shark. The common name is derived from a distinctive, thresher-like tail or caudal fin which can be as long as the body of the shark itself.

Many shark species, such as the goblin shark and sand tiger, have very long, thin teeth. This structure is well suited for catching small fish. The shark kills the fish immediately, by piercing it with a single bite. Then it swallows the fish whole. Sharks that go after larger prey need a different strategy and a different sort of tooth. They tear into their prey several times, biting off large pieces of flesh. Sharks in this group, which includes the infamous great white shark, have wide serrated teeth.

The great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), also known as the great white, white pointer, white shark, or white death, is a species of large lamniform shark which can be found in the coastal surface waters of all the major oceans.he great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), also known as the great white, white pointer, white shark, or white death, is a species of large lamniform shark which can be found in the coastal surface waters of all the major oceans.

Tiger Shark â Galeocerdo cuvier. Tiger sharks are very large and so they require a considerable amount of wide open space. They enjoy warm water so they are found in the tropic areas of the world as well as some sub tropic locations.ating Habits of Tiger Sharks. A tiger shark will eat any type of fish, shark, animal, and small entity it can find in the water. They are very curious by nature and will taste anything that comes their way. The stomachs of tiger sharks have been found with some very unique items inside of them.

This information will help you identify some of the common species of sharks. There are 440 different species of sharks in the world today classified into eight different orders described below with some examples of known sharks species for each group. Some of the most popular species of sharks are: One of the most unusual types of sharks our there are know as angel sharks. Many people mistake them for some other types of sea creature. It isnât uncommon for them to be thought of as large stingrays. But the simplest way to tell them apart is by looking at the location of the fins.

Whales. Whales are the largest animals that ever lived on the Earth. They are even larger than the dinosaurs of prehistoric times. All whales belong to a group known as cetaceans (seh TAY shuhnz). There are two types of whales.1  toothed (odontocete). 2  baleen (mysticete).hales. Whales are the largest animals that ever lived on the Earth.

A shark tooth is one of the numerous teeth of a shark. A shark tooth contains resistant calcium phosphate materials. Sharks continually shed their teeth; some Carcharhiniformes shed approximately 35,000 teeth in a lifetime, as well as replace them by producing thousands of more.he most ancient types of sharks date back to 450 million years ago, during the Late Ordovician period, and are mostly known by their fossilised teeth. However, the most commonly found fossil shark teeth are from the Cenozoic era (the last 66 million years).

TYPES OF SHARKS. To wrap it up, let's look at some of the types of sharks we've been discussing. ANGEL SHARK: 1  flat body like a stingray -- you can tell the shark is not a ray because the pectoral fins are not attached to the head.2  They bury themselves in the sand or mud with only the eyes and part of the top of the body exposed.NGEL SHARK: 1  flat body like a stingray -- you can tell the shark is not a ray because the pectoral fins are not attached to the head. 2  They bury themselves in the sand or mud with only the eyes and part of the top of the body exposed.

Sharks: Body Parts. If you look at a shark, you will see it has a number of special adaptations that allow it to fit into an ocean environment. A shark has fins and a streamlined body that help it swim through water.It has gills, which take in oxygen directly out of the water.Because of its gills, sharks can stay underwater and not have to come to the surface to breathe. shark has fins and a streamlined body that help it swim through water.

The iridescent shark (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) is a species of shark catfish (family Pangasiidae) native to the rivers of Southeast Asia. It is not a shark. It is found in the Mekong basin as well as the Chao Phraya River, and is heavily cultivated for food there.he fish is named for the glow or iridescence exhibited in juveniles, as well as the shark-like appearance of this and other shark catfish. It is also known as Siamese shark or sutchi catfish in the aquarium hobby. Adults reach up to 130 cm (4 ft) in length and can weigh up to a maximum of 44.0 kg (97 lb).

Smell is probably the most important shark sense, so much so that sharks have been referred to as swimming noses [source: SeaWorld]. There are some impressive statistics to back this up, too. A shark can sniff out fish extracts that make up only one part for every 10 billion parts [source: Elasmodiver]. Other research shows sharks are able to respond to one part blood for every one million parts of water; this is like being able to smell one teaspoon of something in a swimming pool [source: Shark Trust]. What's more, sharks can smell these small amounts from hundreds of meters away [source: SeaWorld].

A great white shark, for example, would be able to detect a single drop of blood in an Olympic-size pool. Most sharks can detect blood and animal odors from many miles away. Another amazing thing about a shark's sense of smell is that it's directional. The twin nasal cavities act something like your two ears: Smell coming from the left of the shark will arrive at the left cavity just before it arrives at the right cavity. In this way, a shark can figure out where a smell is coming from and head in that direction. Sharks also have a very acute sense of hearing.

The bull shark, also known as the Zambezi shark in Africa, and Lake Nicaragua shark in Nicaragua, is a requiem shark commonly found worldwide in warm, shallow waters along coasts and in rivers. The bull shark is known for its aggressive nature, predilection for warm shallow water, and presence in brackish and freshwater systems including estuaries and rivers. Bull sharks can thrive in both salt and fresh water and can travel far up rivers. They have been known to travel up the Mississippi River as far as Alton, Illinois, about 700 miles (1100 km) from the ocean.

Oceanic whitetip sharks, Carcharhinus longimanus (Poey, 1861), aka white-tipped shark, whitetip oceanic shark and whitetip shark, are large stocky sharks with a huge, rounded first dorsal fins and long, wide-tipped pectoral fins.ceanic whitetip sharks feed on oceanic bony fishes, including tuna and mahi-mahi (dolphinfish, Coryphaena hippurus), threadfins, stingrays, sea turtles, sea birds, gastropods (snails), squid, crustaceans, mammal carrion and sometimes even garbage.

It's alot faster than 1 mph, a human swims 2-5 mph average. It depends on what kind of shark, but the mako can get up to 45-50 mph in short bursts. When a shark is hitting prey from underneath they can reach up to 30mph. The type of shark they are asking for is clearly a Great White Shark.

There is considerable variation between species in the length of pregnancy. At least one group of fish has been named after its pregnancy characteristics. The surfperch, genus Embiotoca, is a saltwater fish with a gestation period of three to six months.This lengthy period of pregnancy gives the family its scientific name from the Greek embios meaning persistent and tokos meaning birth.xamples of ovoviviparous fish are many of the squaliform sharks, which include sand sharks, mackerel sharks, nurse sharks, requiem sharks, dog sharks and hammerheads, among others, and the lobe finned coelacanth.

It was found that the bull shark stayed at the mouth of the river independent of the salinity of the water. The driving factor for a bull shark to be in freshwater or saltwater is its age; as the bull shark ages the tolerance for very low or high salinity increases.ne way the bull shark is able to conserve energy is that when the tidal flow changes, the bull shark uses the tidal flow in order to conserve energy as it moves downriver. Another way for the bull shark to conserve energy is to decrease the amount of energy needed to osmoregulate the surrounding environment.

Fossil Shark Teeth. Shark teeth are made of a solid substance called dentin. This material is slow to decompose, which is part of the reason why fossil shark teeth are so plentiful. When a shark loses a tooth, it ends up on the bottom of the ocean, where it's covered with protective layers of sediment.hark teeth are made of a solid substance called dentin.

There are more than 500 species of sharks swimming in the worldâs ocean. Yet when most people think of these cartilaginous fish, a single image comes to mind: a large, sharp-toothed and scary beast. That generalization does sharks a huge disservice, as they have far more variety than that.oday, fins are the most valuable part of a shark. The targeted shark-fin fisheries around the world are trading the fins of between 26 to 73 million sharks every year (according to a 2006 estimate) with a worth of $400-550 million. Driving this trade is the demand for and consumption of shark fin soup in Asia.

Last year there were a total of 47 shark attacks in the U.S., with two of them ending in a fatality. The states with the highest number of shark attacks that occurred last year, according to the International Shark Attack File, are as follows: Florida with 23 attacks, Hawaii with 13 and South Carolina with six.California, North Carolina, Texas, Oregon and Alabama each reported one shark attack.he states with the highest number of shark attacks that occurred last year, according to the International Shark Attack File, are as follows: Florida with 23 attacks, Hawaii with 13 and South Carolina with six.

The Tiger Shark is a type of shark encountered in Stranded Deep. They can be found living in shallow ocean biomes such as the Islands, Sand Plains and Shallows. Tiger sharks can be identified by their dull gray coloration, along with their distinctive stripes that run down the length of their body. A tiger shark can be killed with exactly 10 hits from an axe. 2  As of v0.03.H2, the spawn chance of a tiger shark has been adjusted from 100% down to 30%. 3  There is a bug currently located in the game: once a tiger shark latches onto the player, it will drag the player back to the island.

Aggressive overfishing threatens to push some shark species to extinction, and a new study puts annual shark deaths at 100 million. Our analysis shows that about one in 15 sharks gets killed by fisheries every year, study leader Boris Worm, a professor of biology at Canada's Dalhousie University, said in a statement. With an increasing demand for their fins, sharks are more vulnerable today than ever before.. Based on available data for shark deaths and estimates of unreported illegal catches, the researchers estimated that 100 million sharks were killed in 2000 and 97 million in 2010.

The skin of an adult whale shark can be as thick as 4 inches (10 cm) and has the consistency of strong rubber, which limits possible predators to killer whales, great white sharks, tiger sharks and humans. Color. Whale shark has a two-toned pattern of light spots on its dark gray back with a white underside. Each whale shark has its own individual spot pattern; like human fingerprints, no two are exactly alike. Teeth. Teeth of the whale shark are tiny and pointed backward; they are thought to have no function in feeding.

The largest bodies of water on Earth are the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean, and Arctic Ocean. The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean on Earth, covering more than one-third of the Earth's surface and nearly half of Earth's water surface. The world's second largest ocean is the Atlantic Ocean, which covers one-fifth of the total surface area of the Earth. The third largest ocean in the world, the Indian Ocean, is surrounded by the Arabian Peninsula and Southeast Asia in the north, Africa in west and Australia in the east.

Greenland shark may live 400 years, smashing longevity record. Imagine having to wait a century to have sex. Such is the life of the Greenland sharkâa 5-meter-long predator that may live more than 400 years, according to a new study, making it the longest lived vertebrate by at least a century. So it should come as no surprise that the females are not ready to reproduce until after they hit their 156th birthday.

The anal fin is located between the pelvic and caudal fins on the bottom, or ventral, part of the shark. Caudal Fins When it comes to the shark having the ability to propel itself through the water, they utilize what is called the caudal fin. This fin, also known as the tail fin, has an upper and lower lobe that, depending on the type of shark, can vary in shape and size. The upper lobe of the caudal fin produces the majority of the sharkâs thrusting abilities. The tail fin is one of the most important parts of the entire shark anatomy. Types Of Shark Tail Fins Because of all of these different types of fins, sharks are able to maneuver swiftly through the water while also remaining stabilized.

SHARK CARTILAGE Overview Information. Shark cartilage (tough elastic tissue that provides support, much as bone does) used for medicine comes primarily from sharks caught in the Pacific Ocean. Several types of extracts are made from shark cartilage including squalamine lactate, AE-941, and U-995.Shark cartilage is most famously used for cancer, including a type of cancer called Kaposiâs sarcoma, that is more common in people with HIV infection.ikely Ineffective for: 1  Cancer. 2  Most research shows that taking shark cartilage by mouth does not benefit people with advanced, previously treated cancers of the breast, colon, lung, prostate, and brain or advanced, previously treated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Bonnetheads Can Survive On Seagrass Alone, Study Finds By Suman Varandani @suman09 On 01/11/18 AT 6:17 AM Sharks are infamous as meat eaters who often prey on sea creatures and sometimes humans. However, a new study has found that there is a species of shark that can survive on a vegetarian diet. Meet the bonnethead shark, a member of the hammerhead shark genus Sphyrna in the family Sphyrnidae. A study, led by Samantha Leigh, a doctoral candidate at the University of California, Irvine, found that these sharks are able to survive on a diet of seagrass, a plant that grows on the ocean floor. The study was based on a research conducted 10-years ago, which examined the sharks' stomach contents.

It doesn't say anything about the type of environment they live in. Otters also live in freshwater & like fast flowing streams with lots of vegetation: Their diet is mainly small fish & shell fish. Otters live by eating shells that have food or animals in it and they it it in the water by floating with seaweed on there backs. They survive by staying in groups when they jump into the air they look in front of them if you dont know so they see if there's a shark or something that can eat them and they use there good sense of hearing to protect them.

Porbeagle Shark Facts. The Porbeagle Shark, also called Lamna nasus, comes from the family of Lamnidae sharks. It is mostly found in cold and temperate waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. This is a species of the mackerel shark and is a close relative of the salmon shark.The Porbeagle can reach over 8 feet (2.5 meters) in length and can gain a weight of 135 kilograms or 298 pounds. They are normally white at the bottom and grey on top giving it some nice camouflage for hunting.ou can mostly find this shark in the North Atlantic on the coasts of Greenland, Canada, Russia and Scandinavia. Further south, this shark can be spotted near Bermuda, New Jersey, Madeira, Brazil, Chile and Morocco. It has also been sighted in the Mediterranean Sea. The Porbeagle is known to migrate long distances.

Bull sharks are large and stout, with females being larger than males. The bull shark can be up to 81 cm (2.66 ft) in length at birth. Adult female bull sharks average 2.4 m (7.9 ft) long and typically weigh 130 kg (290 lb), whereas the slightly smaller adult male averages 2.25 m (7.4 ft) and 95 kg (209 lb). While a maximum size of 3.5 m (11 ft) is commonly reported, a single record exists of a female specimen of exactly 4.0 m (13.1 ft). The maximum recorded weight of a bull shark was 315 kg (694 lb), but may be larger. Bull sharks are wider and heavier than other requiem sharks of comparable length, and are grey on top and white below.

Deep sea fish. Deep-sea fish are fish that live in the darkness below the sunlit surface waters, that is below the epipelagic or photic zone of the sea. The lanternfish is, by far, the most common deep-sea fish. Other deep sea fishes include the flashlight fish, cookiecutter shark, bristlemouths, anglerfish, viperfish, and some species of eelpout. Only about 2% of known marine species inhabit the pelagic environment. This means that they live in the water column as opposed to the benthic organisms that live in

In the oceans, the KâPg extinction killed off plesiosaurs and the giant marine lizards (Mosasauridae) and devastated fish, sharks, mollusks (especially ammonites, which went extinct) and many species of plankton. It is estimated that 75% or more of all species on Earth vanished.ost paleontologists now agree that an asteroid did hit the Earth at approximately the end of the Cretaceous, but there is an ongoing dispute whether the impact was the sole cause of the extinctions. There is evidence that there was an interval of about 7012946728000000000â 300 ka from the impact to the mass extinction.

The 90 percent of elasmobranchs (sharks, skates and rays) that live near the seafloor are particularly susceptible to fisheries that drag a net across the ocean bottom (trawling). This can change local shark populations dramatically.

Sharks are long-lived animals that grow very slowly and do not produce many young. In many parts of the world, sharks are fished commercially, thus, in order to ensure proper management of the stocks, age and growth data must be obtained.

Many hammerhead sharks live in warm waters fairly close to shore, although most of them are not considered of much danger to humans. Here you can learn about the 10 species of hammerhead sharks, which range in size from about 3 feet to 20 feet in length.

Image caption Spinosaurus is thought to be the largest known carnivore and would have feasted on huge fish and sharks. A giant fossil, unearthed in the Sahara desert, has given scientists an unprecedented look at the largest-known carnivorous dinosaur: Spinosaurus.
