In honor of Shark Week (starts August 10th on Discovery)
and also in tribute to the latest Sharknado craze, I thought I'd dig up some fun
sharky facts...
Shark teeth are popular and often inexpensive beach souvenirs. Sharks
shed their teeth constantly; an occurrence from which humans benefit.
A great white shark can fast as long as three months after a big meal.
Sharks tan too. Some hammerheads swim near the ocean’s surface since darker skin means better camouflage.
Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Island were inspirations for the fictional town of Amity Island in Steven Spielberg's 1975 thriller Jaws.
Sharks' eyes are on the sides of their heads, so they have an amazingly wide sightline spanning nearly 360 degrees. Their panoramic view of the undersea world is inhibited only by two blind spots, one in front of the snout and the other directly behind the head.
Signs that a circling shark will attack: it will hunch its back, lower its pectoral fins (fins near its belly) and swim in zigzag motions.
The average shark has 40-45 teeth and can have up to seven rows of replacement teeth. Because sharks lose a lot of teeth and grow them back quickly, they often go through more than 30,000 teeth in a lifetime.
Sharks do not have a single bone in their bodies. Their skeletons are made of cartilage.

Hammerhead sharks are born with soft heads so they won’t jam their mothers’ birth canals.
The first tiger shark pup to hatch inside its mother’s womb devours its unborn siblings until only two pups remain, one on each side of the womb.
About 30 people die during shark attacks each year, which means you have a greater chance of being killed by bee stings or struck dead by lightning.
For every human killed by a shark, two million sharks are killed by humans.
Scientists study shark cartilage to research possible cures for cancer because sharks rarely ever develop cancer.
