Great white shark

My extinct animal is the megalodon. Not only was the megalodon the biggest prehistoric shark that ever lived,it was the largest marine predator in the history of the planet, vastly outweighing both the modern Great White Shark and ancient reptiles like Liopleurodon and Kronosaurus. Megalodon had a diet befitting an apex predator, feasting on the prehistoric whales that swam the earth's oceans during the Pliocene and Miocene epochs, but also chowing down on dolphins, squids, fish, and even giant…

Another important adaptation that the Megalodon shark had that was very beneficial to it was its skin. The Megalodons skin was assumed to be similar to the Great White sharks skin. Therefore, its skin was sleek and slippery looking which Figure 10: Shark skin in high magnification (Meyer, 2013) helped the shark move through the water due to less friction. This was beneficial when hunting, for they could swim faster in order to catch prey. Although the skin of the Megalodon looked sleek, it was…

was very much his “turf”. There is only one Great White shark to each school and I’ve heard stories of once two Great Whites had encountered one another and that didn’t end well. Next on the ranks, was the remora fish. Once the least fish in the kingdom now became one of the most important fish. Following the remora fish in the chart was the Bottlenose dolphin. These wonderful creatures were the beauties of the school who always followed the sharks around in small crowds.…

A shark was swimming in the Atlantic Ocean, free of worry or care. It was the king of the ocean; nothing could stop it. Little did it know did it know it would become widely known to humans. Little did it know it would become the first recorded shark to kill anyone in the world. In 1916, a series of events triggered the historic attack that eventually destroyed all thoughts about the shark previously. To start with, it all began with the heat. It was blistering hot due to it being, well, July.…

Sharks are the definition of evil in a vast amount of a human's eyes. Because most do not know the facts, most will not face their fears. People with a serious fear of sharks have what is called galeophobia(Surfer Today) ,which makes one who easily builds up with anxiety terrified, such as glancing at a writing form like this.(Penberthy). Humanity has ruined everyone's perspective on sharks by hiding the truth so they will think badly of them because what sharks have done in the past. Humans…

The respiratory system is where there is a series of organs taking in oxygen and getting rid of carbon…

“We’re going to watch JAWS after we watch an episode of Shark Week” My dad said in his Dad way. Being 8 at the time I had no idea what JAWS was, but I knew it was an old movie since my Dad got to see it as a kid. My Mom grabbed the black remote and turned on the tv. We watched as the tv went from a dreary-black to a bloody toothed, opened mouth, flesh hanging from its jaw, Great White Shark jumping out of the water. I screamed since the shark looked like it was…

summer of 2015, Quinn was accepted to an internship to be part of a film crew in South Africa. He traveled to the city of Mossel Bay to work with marina scientist, Ryan Johnson for his upcoming film, “Sharkville” which was a documentary about Great White Sharks living in the bay. I visited Ryan Johnson’s person website page for information on how to obtain an internship. He had a short paragraph about helping students realize their dreams in documentary film study. “If you are on this path, then…

Sharks are vicious creatures that have very distinct, intelligent ways of finding food, and have been on earth for 400 million years. These interesting animals get their prey in three stages, and the first is sensing and finding their prey. When a shark gets hungry, it will use every single one of its senses to find food. Lateral lines running down the sides of their body allow them to sense vibrations and pulses in the water. Not only that, but sharks also have small pores in their snout…
