One way to identify a shark from other fish is from its gill slits. Shark skeletons are made of cartilage, not bones. Sharks have 7 senses, including the electrosense .

They grow slowly and mature late, some taking from 12-18yrs before being able to reproduce. When sharks reproduce, many only have 2-12 young per brood. Every year, sharks cause fewer deaths than lightening, dogs, deer or falling coconuts. Sharks are being killed much faster than they can reproduce. * Copyright photo courtesy of Alex Hofford This PowerPoint is a property of Shark RescueAbout Finning: A bout Finning * Copyright photo courtesy of Alex Hofford This PowerPoint is a property of Shark RescueAbout shark fin – The awful facts: About shark fin – The awful facts Shark finning is the removal of a shark's fins, often while the fish is still alive.
