Sharks are large, marine predators with a cartilaginous skeleton, 5 to 7 (usually five) gill slits along the sides (most often) or bottom of the head, dermal denticles covering the body, and rows of replaceable teeth in the mouth.
Sharks include everything from a hand sized deep sea species, to the whale shark, the largest fish (although sharks are not closely related to bony fish) which is believed to grow to a maximum length of 18m (59 feet) and which, like the great whales, feeds only on plankton.
In addition to the great white shark and bull shark, the only other sharks proven to have killed humans are the oceanic white tipped shark and the tiger shark, implicated in attacks most often in the tropical Pacific, including Hawaii.
Shark eyes are similar to the eyes of other vertebrates, including similar lenses, corneas and retinas, though their eyesight is well adapted to their marine environment.
Once the shark is in the general area of the prey, then the shark begins to use a combination of its smell coupled with the use of the lateral lines running along the side of the shark, used to sense electrical pulses sent out by wounded or dying fish.
Sharks include everything from the hand-sized pygmy shark, a deep sea species, to the whale shark, the largest fish (although sharks are not closely related to bony fish) which is believed to grow to a maximum length of 18m (59 feet) and which, like the great whales, feeds only on plankton.
