TEETH fins are chopped off andthe shark is droppedback in the ocean aliveleft to die Whale Sharks Megladon Sharks have rows of teeth that constantly replace each otherThere are different kinds of shark teeth for different feeding habitsThe teeth are adapted for the diet various species of sharks have developed. Sharks have existed for over 400 million years. Sharks predate the dinosaursAs sharks are cartellagenouss, fossil evidenceof early sharks is from fossilized teeth and a few skin impressions. Cladodonts, an extinct shark species, had double-pointed teeth, shown below, and lived about 360 million years ago (mya).

They have adapted body sizes from.2m- 20m, allowing a wide range of temperaturethresholds. Some species, like the bull shark, are even known to swim in salt, fresh and brackish waters. Some sharks don't need teeth! Some have adapted into filter feeders! Filter FeedersLarger than a school busProtected Species Finning is a big problem for sharks. Shark fin soup is thought to have medicinal properties.There are no regulations currently on finning except in the United States.Sharks mature slowly. Reproductive age can be anywhere from 12 to 15 years. Many species only give birth to one or two pups at a time, means that sharks have great difficulty recovering after their populations have declined Kingdom:Phylum:Class:Order: AnimaliaChordataChondrichthyesLamniformes Threats to Evolution of Sharks?
