  1. Special Sharks By: Noelle Kennedy

  2. Physical Features • Sharks have two fins on their back called dorsal fins. Dorsal fins help to steer and balance while swimming through the water. Sharks are blue with a white bottom. If you were a starfish at the bottom of the sea, a shark’s belly would look like the sky.

  3. Shark’s are endangered? Are sharks endangered? • Right now sharks are not endangered. Scientists are now thinking that because of so many people killing sharks in the future there may not be any more sharks alive.

  4. Habitat • Sharks mostly live in oceans but some even live in rivers or lakes. Sharks can live in every ocean accept the Arctic because the Arctic is too cold for sharks.

  5. What Do Sharks Eat? • Sharks can smell blood from a mile away. That adaptation is how it finds food. A shark can smell blood from about a mile away. When it smells the blood it swims over and attacks the animal. The animal is usually a fish, a smaller shark, seals or porpoises. • Sharks don’t like to eat people though. Sharks only eat people if they mistake them for a seal or other things they eat. For example a surfer in a dark suit may look like a seal but sharks don’t like to eat people. [But still look out for them.]

  6. Behavior • Sharks are very fast to action. If a shark smells blood it zooms through the water and rips into the meal. A shark is like the opposite of a ballerina.

  7. Babies • Shark babies are called pups. Pups grow inside their mother’s body. Some sharks though drop their pups on the ocean floor and then when the pups hatch, they swim out on their own. When a shark is born it swims out on its own and never sees its mom again.

  8. Physiological Adaptation • Sharks don’t have bones, they have cartilage. Cartilage is what we have on our ears and the tip of our nose. Cartilage is what fills in for a shark’s bones. • Sharks have thousands of teeth. Sharks have a row of teeth then another one and more behind that. Sharks have thousands of teeth. Often they fall out but soon they grow new ones.

  9. Food • Sharks can smell blood from a mile away. That helps it to find food. It smells the blood then darts over to where the scent is. It then circles the animal and then suddenly CHOMP, it rips into the meal. Sometimes a hole bunch of sharks are biting the same animal. This is called a feeding frenzy. Sharks eat fish, seals, and porpoises. • Many people think that sharks like to eat people but the only reason they eat people is if they mistake them for something else. .

  10. Special Sharks • There are 350 different kinds of sharks in the world. • Sharks have been around for even longer than dinosaurs. • If a shark stops swimming it stops breathing and it dies.
