Shark Facts
Those Pearly Whites
Did you know a shark can grow and lose thousands of teeth during its lifetime? As old teeth fall out, new ones move forward like a conveyor belt, ensuring sharks almost always have a sharp bite.
Skin Deep
Shark skin isn't smooth like a fish's scales. It's covered with tiny, tooth-like structures called dermal denticles that reduce drag and help sharks swim quietly and efficiently through the water.
On the Menu
Not all sharks eat the same foods. Some hunt fish, seals, or squid, while gentle giants like the whale shark filter tiny plankton from the water. Every species has a diet perfectly suited to its lifestyle.
