Great white shark

The Great White has an incredible sense of smell that it uses to sniff out prey. Another interesting sense of the Great White is the ampulla of Lorenzini, tiny pores in the skin that are highly sensitive to electrical discharges. These pores can sense charges as little as 0.005 microvolts. This "sixth sense" is useful in tracking prey's movement from long distances. In fact, they can feel disturbances in the water from up to a mile away. When great white sharks are young, they feed on smaller…

It had no real reason to go extinct because it has plenty of food, its environment is still clean and had no hazards that would kill it, and nothing could kill this top of the line predator.

continues to find) new sharks, I jumped in….to the story, not the ocean. Apparently, Dave Ebert travels to Taiwan because of a certain fish market. That market has dished him at least 10 new sharks, not yet documented. However, what’s really weird to me is that sharks have been around way longer than crocodilians. They have outlived dinosaurs. Sharks have been around for 450 million years. Here are some of my personal favorite sharks… The Frilled Shark I think all shark lovers know about the…

guess I am one of the most fortunate people on the earth. And it all just happened so quickly. I mean I’m getting my nose punctured one day and the next I’m being spit up over a coral reef and onto a beach. Then coming face to face with a ginormous shark. And then I was rescued by people that just so happened to be researching the island. And I don’t think I could’ve eaten dead seal meat for the rest of my life either. The again I’m pretty sure that I would have done what it took to stay…
