Some Shark Facts :)

Sharks are older than dinosaurs and trees

Sharks have survived at least four mass extinction events

There are more than 500 different species of sharks alive today

Out of these species, only about a dozen of them are considered dangerous to humans

Sharks don’t really like eating humans, because we aren’t a good food source to sustain them and we tend to fight back

Most shark attacks are either the shark mistaking a human for something else, or the shark just being curious

The five largest living sharks are the Whale Shark, Basking Shark, Tiger Shark, Greenland Shark, and Great White Shark

There are three species of filter feeding sharks, the Whale Shark, Basking Shark, and Megamouth Shark

There’s only one species of omnivorous shark, the Bonnethead Shark

The Greenland Shark can live for centuries, with the largest estimate being 500 years

Hammerhead Sharks have 360 degree vision because of their unusual heads

Sharks are vital to the ecosystems, being apex predators that keep fish populations in check

Any healthy coral reef ecosystem will need a good amount of sharks
