Sharks are the vacuum cleaners of the ocean and one of the most impress eve creatures,they have been around since the dinosaurs, can lie in wait for prey to come by (Great White Shark/Cape May Seal) or have the perfect olfactory senses for finding decaying flesh. We need every kind of shark to be present in the world's oceans, each fills a niche. I heard about 2 weeks ago on (Living on Earth Series/Public Radio) that a shark can reproduce asexually. This happened in a zoo. The reason this occurred was because there were no males available for the female of that particular species to mate with. The baby, unfortunately was killed by tank mates but biologists found the discovery by post mortem exam. This means sharks are unable to find males to mate with and that is not positive.

I believe sharks are awesome creatures. People have made them out to be villains. People are angry at sharks because they someimes bite but consider the fact that when swimming at the beach were in a shared ecosystem. The sharks were there first so we should respect them. If I was a shark I would probably be angry that 100s of people swim around in my home. Also when sharks bite their not necessarly trying to eat someone. They dont have hands and their fins arent effective in feeling something so they use their teeth. Their just trying to feel and unfortunately it involves their teeth but once again its their turf. Sooooo I love sharks because their beautiful enough said : )

How could you not like sharks......They are the perfect predator.......Rows and rows of razor sharp teeth that continuously replenish themselves. What does that tell you?
However, they scare the crap out of me.........Only because of their awesome advantage when in the ocean.
However, sharks are not invincable, dolphins, and Orcas have been known to kill sharks.
Other sharks also kill sharks.........that is wierd!!!!!!
But, when you think about the shark they are an incredable creature......First they have no bones......their skeleton is made up of nothing more than cartilage, no air bladder as in fish.......they have to constantly keep swimming in order to not sink.........Think of you trying to stay in 10 feet of water for 2 days..........They also need to keep moving in order to breath..........Look at a sharks mouth........Nothing more to say there............
Most attacks on humans by sharks are on surfers........I have seen vids from under the water of a surfer........Looks very much like a seal, a natural prey for the shark.......
There are unprovoked attacks on humans by sharks, but for crying out loud, we are in there domain where they rule...........
Sharks are awsome, but also very scarry at the same time.
There are only two creatures on this planet that really freak me out, the first is the croc, and the second, is none other than the shark!!!!!!!
Now you my answer!!!!!!!!
