Sharks Mention the word shark to someone on the beach and you are bound to get a reaction.Sharks have been the most feared predator of the ocean. Sharks are fish.

Fish also generally have slippery scales, while a shark has rough scales that feel like sandpaper.
There are many different types of shark. In fact, there are about 368 different types. The differences include color, habitat, behavior, and size. Sharks are also known for their very sharp teeth. They do not use their teeth to chew their food. Instead they swallow large chunks of food. They have five rows of teeth. If a tooth is broken, it is replaced by another tooth.
Sharks are carnivores, meaning that they eat meat. Sharks do not normally attack people.
