Incredible Shark Facts

Sharks have no bones!

Sharks skeletons are made from cartilage (similar to what our noses and ears are made from) instead of bone

No dentist needed

Sharks can have up to 30,000 teeth in their lifetime. The teeth fall out of the jaw and are immediately replaced by a tooth directly behind it.

Sense of smell

Sharks are some of the most impressive hunters in existence. They can smell one drop of blood in a million litres of water
