lthough sharks can dive to a depth of 200 feet, they tend to stay in shallower water. Hunt, blacktip sharks will wait schools of fish to a sharp decline in the ridge or cliff or the ocean, or when there is a change in current water --- these are the areas where schools of fish are more easily captured and eaten. Like other sharks, blacktip sharks love a diverse number of species, are less numerous than their prey and usually are not preyed upon themselves, making them Apex predators.

The coloration ranges from pale grey to a dark blackish-brown, making it easier to blend in with its murky surroundings. These sharks are mainly scavengers and usually prey on smaller fish such as skates, eels, herring, and cod. On occasion remains of larger mammals such as seals, moose, polar bears, and reindeer have been found in their stomachs. Its even speculated that these sharks ambush seals, with their ice holes being like beacons. Female Greenland sharks are ovoviviparous, meaning that they retain the developing embryo inside of their bodies to hatch instead of depositing it into the mud. While the gestation period is unknown there are usually 10 pups per litter that are about 90 centimeters long. This shark’s flesh is extremely poisonous due to the presence of the highly toxic chemical trimethylamine oxide (TMAO). The TMAO in the tissues basically acts as a natural antifreeze for the enzymes and proteins in this shark and keeps them from freezing. When the flesh is consumed TMAO is broken down into just trimethylamine. This chemical causes intestinal and neurological distress similar to extreme inebriated. Increased consumption can even lead to
Narrative Thesis: In this painting there are a group of men that are trying to save a boy that is drowning. There is one man on the boat who is trying to get the shark away from the boy with a rod looking object. There are two men who are bending over the rim of the boat trying to get a grab of the boys arms. This scene seems to be happening in the middle of the sea, near a harbor full of ships. I believe the group of men came to rescue the little boy that's drowning and getting attacked by the shark.
Strategy is not easily defined and furthermore the term is not exclusively related to just the business world. We can confidently say strategy is key to survival, not only in business but also in the animal kingdom. All animals under go a process of constant change in their physical appearance and in their behaviour. These changes take place over millions of years and the species that survive, do so because throughout their evolution they have perfected certain strategies that have enabled them to develop more successfully in the environment they inhabit. One such case of this successful development is the great hammerhead shark.
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.

Initially, data was collected over a thirty year period from the Global Shark Attack File to examine the shark bite prevalence of both provoked and unprovoked shark bites. The data was extracted from the year 1982 up until 2011 and examined shark bite deaths, bites that caused injury, and bites that caused no injury. This study will only examine unprovoked shark bites where someone has chosen to enter ocean and has not done anything to purposefully provoke the shark. Mannerisms that are being considered as a provoking are feeding, encouraging the shark to come closer, and aggravating the shark through close proximity contact. Shark bites that were recorded within physical objects (i.e. surfboard bites and boat bites) were not included in this
After the recent deaths, some researchers are starting to wonder if certain sharks are developing a taste for humans. Jose Leonardo Castillo, chief shark investigator for Mexico's National Fishing Institute, recently announced that he and his colleagues are investigating this possibility, since criminal activity has resulted in bodies being dumped in the areas where the two surfers in Mexico died. It could be that, after repeatedly consuming other human flesh, one or more sharks could associate people with food
Sharks do kill about 15 people each year. People believe that sharks attack us on purpose, but that is not true. Sharks confuse humans for seals. To a shark below the surface of the water, a surfer’s arms look like a seal’s flippers. A wetsuit or surfboard looks like a seal’s hide (skin) or stomach.

Beginning with the simplest one-celled organism, an extraordinary animal rose in the murky waters entitled to a non-comparable killing-eating machine. This organism has become nature’s most genuine and most successful creature that it has remained unchanged for over 250 million years. Nature finally invented the perfect king of the sea. This animal has given the sea it’s “living” adjective; in turn, it was entitled—the “great white shark.”
