Sociable Sharks!!!
- Shark, what a sharp animal! (you might have recognized this in the movie "DEEP BLUE SEA"😂)
- Great sharks can be found throughout the world’s oceans, mostly in cool waters close to the coast.
- These super swimmers are the largest predatory fish (fish that eat other fish or animals) on our planet. On average, they grow to around 4.6m long, but some great sharks have been measured at 6m – that’s half the length of a bus!
- Any creature unlucky enough to find itself in the gob of a is in for a nasty shock! Because this marine beast’s mouth is equipped with a set of 300 sharp-triangular teeth arranged in up to seven rows. Yikes!
- These cunning creatures like to take their prey by surprise. They usually position themselves underneath their unsuspecting victims before swimming up and…chomp! They often burst out of the water in a leap (called a breach) before falling back in with their meal in their mouths.
- Great sharks are at the top of the food chain and aren’t likely to be killed by other sea creatures. Sadly, however, they are under serious threat by human activity. Illegal hunting of these beautiful beasts, and overfishing, have meant that today great sharks are a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List.
THAT'S IT FOR TODAY!!
