About the Shark
Instead of bone, a shark's skeleton is built from bendy cartilage, the same material that shapes our ears and nose. These fish have rows of gill slits on each side and skin covered in tiny tooth-like scales that feel rough to the touch. Shark ancestors were swimming the oceans more than 400 million years ago, before the first trees ever grew. This one is a natural fit for an ocean or under-the-sea theme, with the fin marking a good place to start.
- A shark's skeleton is made of cartilage, not bone, which makes it lighter and more flexible.
- Shark-like fish appeared over 400 million years ago, long before dinosaurs or trees.
- Sharks have five to seven gill slits on each side of the head for breathing underwater.
