| | Sharks - What is a Shark?- Enchanted Learning Software |
| | Pelagic sharks (living in the open ocean) include the great white shark, the basking shark, etc. Benthic sharks (living at the ocean floor) include the zebra horn shark, the wobbegongs, and the angelshark, which usually have flattened, camouflaged bodies that let them hide in the sea bed. | | | The sharks that are the most dangerous to people are the great white shark, the tiger shark, the bull shark, and the oceanic whitetip shark. | | | Scientists have shown that sharks are relatively intelligent and can learn at a rate similar to that of rats and birds. |

| | Article about "Shark" in the English Wikipedia on 24-Apr-2004 |
| | 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. | | | 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. | | | A few of the larger species, the Mako and White shark, are mildly homeothermic, able to maintain their body temperature at a level above the ocean's temperature. |

| | Shark Facts |
| | Great white sharks however are known to "tail slap" the surface of the water in social communications that may indicate the size of the shark to other rival sharks and perhaps stake claim to rights on a food source. | | | On a Fox Research Expedition in 1993, University of Adelaide Engineering Professor Ross Miller measured that a 3.2 metre great white shark exerted a force of 1500 Newton on a special biting apparatus with 2/3 of its jaw palate! | | | In some cases, sharks do seem to feel or react to pain but not in the same way humans do. |

| | Beach-Net: Shark Attacks |
| | Sharks do frequent shallow waters, but they are generally too small, too sluggish, too weakly armed or living at too great a depth to pose any potential danger to humans swimming on the Delaware-Maryland coast. | | | The especially dangerous white shark, in fact, is seldom seen anywhere, especially close inshore. | | | The most dangerous shark species -- the Tiger shark, Lemon shark, larger Hammerheads, and the White sharks of Jaws fame -- are rarely seen in this area. |
