frequently endure, but the fear, horror, and violent loathing it excites in other.

sixteenth. Many reasons have been to account for its decline, but the timely development of a diagnostic technique flexible enough

Most people are afraid of sharks, but they usually do not known very much about them. For example, there are 350 kinds of
sharks, and all of them are meat eaters. Some sharks are very big. the whale shark is 50 to 60 feet long. But some sharks are very
small. The dwarf shark is only 6 inches long. Shark are 100 million years old. in fact, they lived at the same time as dinosaurs.
Today, sharks live in every ocean in the world, but most sharks live in warm water. They keep the oceans clean because they eat
sick fish and animals. Most sharks have four to six rows of teeth. When a shark's tooth falls out another tooth moves in from
behind. Sharks do not have ears. However, they "hear" sounds and movements in the water. Any sound or movement makes the
water vibrate. Sharks can feel these vibrations, and they help the sharks find food. Sharks use their large eyes to find food, too.
Most sharks see best in low light. They often hunt for food at dawn, in the evening, or in the middle of the night. Scientists want to
learn more about sharks for several reasons. For example, cancer is common in many animals, including people. However, it is
