Sharks By Manuela




Sharks are a very ancient groups of animals. The first sharks lived more than 400 million years ago, that is 200 million years before the first dinosaur walked the earth.

The hammerhead shark eats fish, stingrays, crabs, and squid. They hunt on the sea floor to find stingrays that are living on the floor. Mako sharks eat tuna, mackerel and sword fish.

Mako sharks have short fins and long fins. Short fin makos have shorter pectoral fins than long fin makos. These fins help sharks steer like an airplane.

A shark lives in oceans, coral reefs and seas. The tiger shark is able to live in many different marine habitats, but they really like murky waters in coastal areas.

I think sharks have the right to eat humans because we also eat them. We are also in their homes when they
attack us.
