If they were to lose their tail and stop swimming they would…

Get over here.” Rushing over to him, in no time at all, I’m looking over his shoulder. A small, black shark tooth is being turned in…

have a lot of knowledge on all marine organisms. However, everything there is to know about the carnivorous great white sharks’ species hasn’t been discovered yet.

Shark Fin Soup was introduced into Chinese cuisine during the Sung Dynasty (AD 960–1279) but did…
