The Mysterious, Endangered River Sharks (Glyphis spp.) (1800 words)
River sharks in tropical rivers of northern Australia seem to be adapted to waters with very low dissolved oxygen content compared with the Bull Shark, which occurs in many of the same rivers.
These rivers and estuaries are absolutely vital to the continued survival of river sharks, which cannot readily colonize or adapt to new habitats.
River sharks may not be particularly dangerous or flashy, but they are rare creatures that add to the diversity and mystery of our world.
Shark (2897 words)
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.
Sharks include everything from a 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.
Though the number one killer is in the making of Shark Fin Soup millions of sharks are brutally murdered for their fins that are cut off with a hot metal blade then the live animal is tossed back into the water to perhaps die.
