SHARK FACTS:

  • Sharks appeared over 400 million years ago, roughly 50 million years before trees.
  • Their skeletons are made entirely of cartilage, which is lighter and more flexible than bone.
  • Their skin is covered in tiny, tooth-like structures called dermal denticles that reduce drag.
  • Some sharks, like sandbar sharks, can go through over 30,000 teeth in their lifetime.
  • Many sharks have a spiracle behind their eyes that allows them to pull water into their respiratory system while at rest on the seafloor.
  • Sharks have relatively large, complex brains comparable in size to some mammals and birds.
  • They use organs called ampullae of Lorenzini to detect weak electric fields generated by prey.
  • They can detect tiny amounts of blood and other scents in the water from a long distance.
  • Sharks are ten times more sensitive to light than humans and have excellent close-range vision.
  • The shortfin mako is the fastest shark, capable of swimming up to 60 mph (96 km/h).
  • While most are carnivores, the massive whale shark is a filter feeder, consuming tiny plankton.
  • Great Whites can launch themselves out of the water to catch seals.
  • The Whale Shark is the largest fish in the sea, growing up to 60 feet.
  • The dwarf lanternshark is only about 6-8 inches long and is bioluminescent, meaning it can glow in the dark.
  • Bull sharks can survive in both salt water and fresh water, and have been found in rivers like the Mississippi.
  • The 5-meter Greenland shark is the slowest-swimming shark and can live for centuries.
  • Australia’s epaulette shark can walk on its fins in shallow water.
  • Over 1/3 of all shark and ray species are threatened with extinction.
  • Around 100 million sharks are killed each year, while sharks kill fewer than 10 people annually.
  • You are more likely to be killed by a falling coconut than a shark.
  • They maintain ocean health by keeping populations of other fish in check.
