Earths Water is Full of Sharks

Sharks, the scariest, biggest, baddest creatures! That's what we make them out to be, but are they really? The answer is no, we say that. We kill more of them than they kill of us, about 900,094 more. Sharks, being carnivores, are NOT natural predators of humans.

The Great White, up to 21 feet long with razor teeth may seem like a monster but there is much that society does not know. Sharks need to be protected because of the benefits they give humans. Also by tracking sharks is one way researchers can find a way to understand sharaks more.

The Great White Shark is the top predator of the ocean, meaning that it is not hunted by other animals in the waters. The Great White has been listed as an endangered species due to the over hunting of them for shark teeth and there fins.

Also hey are very unique and interesting. They can get up to 15ft long. Next blue sharks like to move around so they don’t stay in one spot for long. At last watching the movie jaws made people have many opinions that are oncel sharks. People find sharks very threatening but they are just like us.

In conclusion, Mako sharks unique characteristics are what distinguishes them from other species of sharks in the waters. While their population has declined due to hunting for their meat, hide, fins, or because they have been viewed as being aggressive towards people, the Mako shark still remains to be an incredibly unique marine creature (“Mako Shark”

The features of a Great White Sharks are really interesting like their skin patterns. Their skin patterns help them camouflage in the water. The top of their body is blue to blend in the water. The bottom of the body is grey to blend in with the black color on the bottom of the ocean. The teeth of Great White Sharks are interesting. They have multiple rows of teeth. Their teeth are triangled shaped and have

Sharks have streamlined bodies and a special set of organs which makes sharks special from other fish. When sharks attack, they have a special lining that moves over the eye to protect the eye from debris in the water. This lining, however, renders the sharks blind sometimes missing their prey, this is why they usually come out of the water or “breach” into the air during an attack. They are not really good swimmers, but sharks can swim very fast,

Great white sharks are extraordinary creatures. They have a massive diet, and their habitat can range from the surface of the water to 800 feet down and possibly more. These massive sharks can be mysterious in their own ways.

There are 465 known species. The Bull Shark is the first most dangerous Sharks. They hunt during the day and night. The eat almost anything. There are a few sharks that can live and hunt in salt water and fresh water and bull sharks is one of them. They can be anywhere between 7 feet to 11 ½ feet long and weight up to 500 pounds. They are found all over the world and swim up to 25 mph. The second most dangerous shark is the Great White Shark. It can be anywhere from 15 feet to 20 feet long and weight 5000 pounds or more. They are found in cool, coastal waters.The 3rd most dangerous shark is the Tiger Shark. They are also known as the garbage can of the sea cause they will eat anything. Females are bigger than males. They

The history of sharks go back far. People once thought that a sea monster was a shark. It could possibly have evolved into a shark but a shark was probably not what they called a sea monster. The first shark was in Ischia, Italy on an island known as Naples. The first what they thought was a shark was in 725 B.C (Shark History). The top 4 sharks are the most violent sharks to attack the human race. Shark number 1 is the Great White Shark (4+). A Great White Shark’s diet is mainly of anything in it’s path. They are omnivores. They mainly only eat meat though (Maddalena 8). The shark in Jaws was a great white shark . Shark number 2 is the Mako Shark (4+). The mako shark is a carnivore. There prey is usually tiny squid, smaller sharks, dolphins, and different types of fish(SWFSC). The Ganges shark is the 3rd most dangerous and more to attack humans (4+).The ganges shark feeds off a variety of fish and stingrays. Ganges sharks eat all meat (carnivore) (The Shark Trust). Ganges sharks live in northeastern India. I have always wondered if in India they have a movie that is the same as jaws but with a Ganges shark as the killer shark. The last shark on the top four is the Hammerhead shark. The hammerhead shark is very stealthy like a ninja. Hammerhead’s eat a range of food such as smaller sharks,squid,stingrays, and fish. When food is low for a hammerhead shark they will each there own kind as an option to survive the

However, most of these are not fatal, and new research finds that great whites, who are naturally curious, are "sample biting" then releasing their victims rather than preying on humans. “It's not a terribly comforting distinction, but it does indicate that humans are not actually on the great white's menu(E.O Wilson)”.Great whites are the largest fish and weighing up to 5,000 pounds have been recorded.Highly adapted predators, their mouths are lined with up to 300 serrated, sharp teeth arranged in several rows, and they have an exceptional sense of smell to detect prey. They even have organs that can sense the tiny electromagnetic fields produced by animals. They usually eat sea lions, seals, small toothed whales, and even sea turtles, and carrion.The original hypothesis for the great white's origins is that it shares a common gene with its ancestor with a prehistoric shark. The only predator that can kill a shark is a whale and sometimes whales aren't fast enough to catch the sharks most times.Most sharks live in depths of waters on 12 degrees to 24 degrees fahrenheit. Great white sharks have a great sense of touch through what’s called the lateral line.It is a line that extends along the middle of the shark’s body from its tail to its head. Found in all fish, it is made of cells that can

Do you ever wonder what the scariest animal is? There are many different animals, but the most feared is the shark. They are the most unique creatures in the ocean. They have hundreds of teeth in their mouth which make them seem scary. When sharks lose their teeth, there is always another tooth to replace it. Sharks have been around for more than 75,000,000 years. They are located all over the world. There are more than 300 species of sharks. These creatures have many talents and are very intelligent. I am not afraid of sharks because they are helpful to the environment, they can spit garbage out, and sharks are protective of their homes just like we are.

Sharks are one of the most feared carnivores in the sea. There are 365 species of of sharks in the sea as we know today. All sharks are carnivores. Most of them eat live fish, including other sharks. A shark's most common natural enemy is an another shark. Most sharks eat their prey whole, or they tear off large chunks of the bodies. Some sharks crush their prey. Others take out small pieces off flesh from large fish. Sharks also feed on dead or dying animals. Sharks have the reputation of attacking human beings. But less than 100 shark attacks a year are reported throughout the world. Sharks are most common in warm seas and oceans. Whale sharks, are the largest shark known to man. Sharks are classified in the order

The black tip reef shark, is also known as the Carcharhinus Melanoperus gets its name from its pointed snout and black tips on the end of each fin. They are considered one of the most beautiful sharks in the whole ocean and are frequently seen by divers. Its average length is 1.9 meters and weighs about 130kg. They live on warm, shallow coral reefs in the pacific, indo and Mediterranean Sea with the deepest depth up to 80 meters. Their proffered water temperature is 15C -24C. These reef sharks are very social and will often be seen in packs or groups with a strong hierarchy system, although they are predators, when they come face to face with another predator they tend to become more shy and timid . Although these sharks are calm most of the time, when hungry they become athletic and energetic hunters, they have a great technique, to launch their whole body out of the surface of the water and roll up to 4 times before falling. They also have perfect pack hunting skills, and will herd a school of fish into the shallows and then feed on them, they can feed on small fish such as herring and sardines, they eat stingrays and smaller sharks. Females are able to reproduce without a male and can give birth up to 10 pups per year, each pup will usually hit maturity at age 4 and most sharks will live until age 13. Conflicts have happened between black tip reef sharks and humans before as we swim so close to them and their habitat, but the rates are exceedingly slow and these sharks would

One reason the Great White Shark is the best predator is that is the perfect size. The other two sharks, the Megalodon and the Megalolamna, both had flaws. The Megalodon was huge, at 60 feet long. People would think this made them the best predator, but how would it find enough food? It would be nearly impossible to collect enough food to survive. And the Megalolamna? It is small for a shark, around 10 feet or so long. It would be a big target for large fish. So I realized both sharks had a flaw in size. But the Great White Shark is in the middle, at around 20 feet long, according to the article on page 1 paragraph 2. It is perfectly sized- not too big, not too small. That is actually why i chose the shark in the first place.
