The Facts You Did NOT Know About Those Deadly Sharks!


                             

Heyyyyyyyyyyyy! It's Sofia! And I am going to talk about.......SHARKS!! Most people think of sharks in a horrid manner. Perhaps like Jaws! But not all sharks are like that! Shocking Right?!???!                             


                                                
When you see a Shark you probably think it feels all Gooey Ooey and Slimey BUT, its feels like sandpaper actually! Especially if you have the nerves to feel it from head to tail it REALLY feels like sandpaper!They feel like sandpaper because of there scales! Sharks are shaped like a torpedo usually and that is one of the reasons why it's SO  fast! Don't you wish you were shaped like torpedo now!

Shark Scales Feel Like Sandpaper
Shall we talk about there teeth!??! Yes we shall!!! Did you know that sharks have 3 rows of teeth? Well they do! Cool right! If one of there teeth fall out, the one from the next row will replace it. That really help because sharks can lose up to 35,000 teeth in a life time!

Shark teeth are really sharp!
Baby sharks are called pups. When I here pups I think of puppies but, there are no similarities! Sharks can have 2 - 100 pups per group of babies. Most  sharks lay eggs and don't give live birth but, some do!
             

You want to know what we are going to do???? WE are going to talk about a Sharks Sensory System!BIG words right!!! Well, it's like there senses.  Let's label them!  Enjoy .........
    Smell of a Shark!!                   
Some Sharks can detect as little as one part per million of blood in the ocean! So that means that if there were one million people in the ocean and if one of them was bleeding, the shark could smell that one person out of all those people! AMAZING! So don't go in the water with a cut because you could be that un-lucky one! BE CAREFUL!  Most sharks have REALLY good smell!  While other are not so good! So those little fish that are under them must smell bad if they don't even bother to try to eat them. After all.. Part of liking your food is the smell of the food! You better not were your best cologne or perfume!     


  Sight of a Shark!!
Sharks eyes are adapted to the water life around them. It is just like how are eyes are adapted to the air and not to the water. We can open our eyes under water but it burns to most people. When we go under water to jump in the pool and we don't have goggles, we use our eyes lids to close our eyes. Sharks have eye lids but, they don't blink under water because the water around them cleans there eyes. But,  if they are in the air. But sharks like the Great White don't have this membrane, also known as there eye lids to protect them if they are hunting, in the air, or have prey like stingrays so they don't get stung. They have good night-vision while making them colorblind. So they don't even know what color the water is! Suckers! :) Because I know what color it is!!! Blue or dark blue to a clear color or kinda green!



         Sharks Hearing! 
   Even though it is VERY hard to test shark's hearing, they could have a super sharp, crisp sense of hearing if they can hear prey from very far away.  They have small openings in there head leading to the inner ear by a thin channel. You really cant see it!

              Sharks Cartilage!
Sharks have skeletons made out of cartilage like other fish like snakes and rays. Also like Lampreys and Hagfish too! Cartilage is flexible and durable, yet has about half the density of bone. So it is lighter than a bone.  So wonder sharks are so fast! And did you know sharks have no ribs? That's too bad.. you can't make shark back ribs! LOL! Just kidding!!


               A FUN SHARK FACT IS..
  • There are over 400 species and 30 of them are a threat to humans!                                              
 Well thanks for reading my DEADLY SHARKS blog post part 1!!! Let Bugs Bunny say goodbye to you! And a Bye from me too! Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :) Thanks Again!

  4. Great Job on your blog! I loved the pictures you had, but you could have done better with your grammar. Next time don't do "Heyyyyyyyyyyyy!", just do " Hey! It's Sofia!". It would look nicer and more professional. Also, when you are putting exclamation marks and periods don't do so many. Only one is necessary. Other than all of that your information is great! Keep up the great work!
