| | Shark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Some species, such as Nurse Sharks, have external barbels that greatly increase their ability to sense prey. | | | Sharks generally rely on their superior sense of smell to find prey, but once they are close they also use the lateral lines running along their sides to sense movement in the water and also employ special sensory pores on their heads to detect electrical pulses created by the muscles of prey. | | | They could change form between shark and human at any time desired, and for any length. |

| | Many bottom-dwelling sharks, such as the orectolobiformes (including the nurse sharks) and heterodontiformes (such as the Port Jackson shark [Heterodontus portjacksoni]) have flattened molar-like teeth and strong jaw muscles, all the better to crush the shells of their common prey, molluscs and crustaceans. | | | Some sharks concentrate mainly on certain types of prey, such as cephalopods (squids and octopuses); crustaceans (lobsters, shrimps, etc.); shellfish, or small fishes, whereas others will take prey from any of these groups. | | | Read this news report on a recent study about the use of shark cartilage as a cure for cancer. |

| | Some orectoloboids (such as the Epaulette and Zebra Sharks) are oviparous, while others (such as the Nurse Shark and wobbegongs) are ovoviviparous. | | | The superficially similar Nurse Shark ( Ginglymostoma cirratum) inhabits shallow tropical waters of the eastern Pacific and both sides of the Atlantic. | | | In recent experiments by P.A. Pridmore, the bottom-walking behavior of the Epaulette Shark served as the model for the limb coordination that eventually enabled a tetrapod pioneer (probably an amphibian or proto-amphibian) to invade the terrestrial environment. |

| | Sand Tiger Sharks: The Facts |
| | Most sharks eat fish, squid, marine mammals, and scavenge any other available food source. | | | Sharks make up the Chondrichthyes, or "cartilaginous fish." First appearing on Earth almost 450 million years ago, cartilaginous fish include both predators like the sand tiger and harmless mollusc-eaters like the Atlantic stingray. | | | The North Carolina Sand Tiger (Carcharius taurus) is also commonly called the ragged-tooth in South Africa and the gray nurse in Australia. |

| | Many shark attacks in Australian waters were attributed incorrectly to the Grey Nurse Shark, often due to its fierce appearance. | | | He also reported taking 24 grey nurse from a single gutter at Seal Rocks in one day and earlier reflected that the Grey Nurse Shark would soon become rare as a consequence of the introduction of powerheads. | | | Cropp (1964) in his book 'Shark Hunters' speculated that at the time of publication, close to 300 Grey Nurse Sharks had been taken since the use of powerheads became widespread in skin diving circles. |
