Get To Know Sharks 🦈

What do sharks eat?
Sharks are carnivores, which means they eat other animals. What they eat depends on their size. Some sharks, like the great white shark, eat large animals like seals, while smaller sharks eat fish, squid, or even tiny plankton. 🐠

How do sharks breathe?
Sharks have special ways to breathe underwater. They don’t have lungs like people; instead, they use their gills. When water flows over their gills, they take oxygen from the water so they can stay underwater for their whole life. 🌊

Amazing Facts About Sharks

  • Sharks lose teeth all the time, but they grow new ones to replace them. Some sharks lose up to 30,000 teeth in their lifetime. 🦷
  • The largest shark, the whale shark, is also the most gentle, feeding on tiny creatures like plankton. 🌍
  • Sharks have been on Earth for more than 400 million years, even before dinosaurs existed 🦖

Types of Sharks in the Ocean 🌊

There are more than 500 different kinds of sharks. Each type of shark is unique, with different features and habits. Here are a few cool sharks to learn about:

  • Great White Shark: These sharks are one of the biggest predators in the ocean. They can grow up to 20 feet long and have strong, sharp teeth for catching prey.
  • Hammerhead Shark: Known for their strange, wide heads, hammerhead sharks use their head shape to help them hunt for food like stingrays.
  • Tiger Shark: This shark gets its name from the tiger-like stripes on its body. It has a big appetite and eats many different kinds of sea animals, including fish, birds, and turtles.
