Did you know?

Did you know that sharks have no bones? They are made of cartilage. It’s the stuff our ears are made of so that makes the shark very flexible. The great white shark’s teeth has rough edges unlike our teeth which are smooth. Both the male and female sharks dorsal fin are the same size The great white shark is the biggest shark besides the whale shark. The female great white shark is bigger than the male (so I guess the females dominate the male haha). Oh and did you know that some people call the sharks egg case the mermaids purse???  I didn’t til I was writing about this my 10 yr. old sis came up and saw that I was writing about the great white shark and she asked did you know that? I said no where did you hear that at? she said I read a book about sharks at the library (she’s so cute). A Great white shark can also jump completely out of the water, they have actually been seen leaping out of the water to catch a sea-lion. Unlike a whale a shark’s tail fin is vertical. A shark and other fish use their tail fin for speed and steering. If a you are swimming within a great white sharks sight it can see the electricity running thru your body and they can also smell blood from as far as 3 miles away (so if you get hurt in water you know sharks have been spotted I would advice to get out asap). Great white sharks are loner sometimes 2 or 3 might hunt together but it isn’t often that more than one is spotted. Sharks also have rough skin like sandpaper most fish have scales but sharks have denticles. Sharks never stop swimming and they can swim up to 20 miles an hour. Humans have a round brain but sharks have more than one section of  brain they are connected and is shaped like a y (weird huh?) Well that’s all I know. If you know something I didn’t put in here plz share.
