COOKIECUTTER SHARK:

they are a small shark (less than 2 feet long)

but what they lack in size, they make up in sinister, as they can eat perfecty round chunks out of living whales and dolphins by clamping its teeth extremely sharp teeth onto them.

GOBLIN SHARK

they are very, very uncommon and likely the strangest looking shark (rarely seen)

it has pale, pinkish grey skin with a long pointed snout (it looks a bit like a sword on top of its head)

it is so rarely seen because it lives in very deep water.

it is so elusive until it was found off the coast of Japan in 1898... until that time it was believed to have been extinct for 100 million years


i would have a picture, but it is so rare that there aren't any :\

MAKO SHARK:

they are the fastest swimmer (43 miles per hour)

mako sharks are known to leap out of the water (sometimes into boats)

NURSE SHARK:

Nurse sharks are bottom dwelling sharks

they have thin, fleshy, whisker-like organs on the lower jaw in front of the nostrils that they use to touch and taste

 they hunt at night, sleep by day

they are quite docile (some divers kiss them) and are common at aquariums

BASKING SHARK:

it is the second largest shark (about 30 feet long and 8,000 pounds).

to eat it filters plankton from the water using "gill rakers".

sharks for you!

ANGEL SHARK

flat body like a stingray -- you can tell the shark is not a ray because the pectoral fins are not attached to the head.

They bury themselves in the sand or mud with only the eyes and part of the top of the body exposed.

They are bottom feeders, eating crustaceans like clams and mollusks and fish that are swimming close to the ocean floor

weird shark

Epaulet shark walks along the bottom with it’s fins and it can survive out of water for short periods.
