WHALE SHARK
multiple rows of replacement teeth groove on the inside of the jaw and steadily move forward as in a conveyor belt. some sharks lose about 30 000 teeth in their lifetime

                                                   
 shark skeleton are very different  from bony fish and terrestrial vertebrates. they have skeletons made of cartilage and connective issue. cartilage's flexible, durable. this help to save energy
They also do not have a swim bladder, the air filled balloon-like organ that keeps most fish upright. Sharks have gill slits but no gill-cover, which is common to most bony fish. Because they have no swim bladder to keep them buoyant, sharks sink when not swimming. Shark's bodies are heavier than water and most sharks are constantly on the move. By moving forward with their mouths open,
sharks move water across their gills for breathing.  The larger species produce live young that are
fully formed, miniature versions of their parents. Mother sharks offer no food or protection for their
young. Young sharks do have a fighting chance, though, as they are born with a full set of teeth and the ability to swim.


Nowadays they are in a danger of being extinct. more people are dying from eating shark's meat than from shark's attack so the question is who's more dangerous?
