What's the first thing that pops up in your mind when you think.... SHARK? Well it's probably : AHHHHHHH! Well i hope you don't think like that after this post! Because you'll understand them! I think what I'm really trying to say is.....DONT judge a book by it's cover. That's the lesson to learn today! But let's get started with the FUN facts!!!! Yayy!
I'm soo excited to tell you guys how sharks aren't only the bad guys! Because they aren't. They weren't created just to eat us! They're just a different species. And ya, sometimes they eat us! Not on purpose too. They think we're seals. And did ya know? WE kill more sharks then THEY kill US! (Whaaatt?) Yeah! So when we kill sharks: YAYYY!! When we kill a baby kitten: AHHHHHHHH WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? YOU MONSTER! See? Now maybe it's not you who judge sharks by they're looks. But I sure know some people.., and I bet you do. You got it! I'm talking about the movie JAWS!
DEAR GOD! LOOK HOW BIG THAT SHARK IS?! How do you think sharks would feel? They have feelings too! They're not monsters! They ARE like humans! They don't mean to kill us! Gosh! Now LET'S START! Because we're going to dive in and learn about sharks S H A R K S! LET'S GO!
WHAT YOU'LL BE LEARNING! :D
- They're Species?
- Shape of Body?
- They're Skin?
- Senses of Shark?
- They're Teeth?
- Baby Sharks?
SPECIES!
So, First let's talk about they're species,There's more than 400 species of sharks. But if ya think about it.. Not that much, Compared to what it used to be anyway. Sharks are being fished and killed faster than you can say SHARK! And remember when I said that we kill more sharks than they kill us? Well sadly I'm not kidding! Like we lost 98% of hammerhead sharks in the last few decades! Fun fact: Out of all 400 species of sharks... Only 30 types of them kill us! WOAH! We gotta give them a break!
SHAPE OF BODY!
Well a lot of sharks obviously have different shaped bodies. Similar... But still a little different. But most of them, Let's say great white sharks, or maybe tiger sharks have long, and kinda torpedo shaped bodies. But some sharks are unique, like hammerheads.. That have flat, blunt heads. And let me just state, that sharks are made of cartilage, which some parts of our noses and ears are made of! Nice to know some parts of you is shark-ified. Lovely. :)
SKIN!!
Shark's skin is hard and rough, and has tooth-like scales. They're skin also feels rough. Kinda like sandpaper.
SENSES! WOOP WOOP!
Shark's Sensory system is fudgin amazing! :] Which is good, Because it makes them great hunters! Let's talk about they're eye-sight. In clear water.. They can see fish 100 feet away! And they're sense of smell power kinda scares me. Just cause' they can smell blood from miles away. Wow.. What a lovely ability. They also have something called a lateral line:) Do YOU have a lateral line? Well, no.. no, you don't. Because only fish have them. It makes them sense vibration or movement in the water. Cool right? They sense it from far away,too! Well the rest of they're senses, human's have too. So let's move on.

TEETH!!!! AHHH!
Not that sure you wanna hear about this.. But here it goes! THE VISCOUS MAN-EATING .. teeth. Sharks, unlike humans have 3 rows of teeth.
How Lovely <3
Probably not the best picture you wanna see.. But hey! We're talking about sharks here.Now, that's the type of pictures that scares your socks off. . Well it is pretty scary. They have really strong, sharp teeth! Well, imagine being in a fight with those man-eating teeth. Who do you think will win? Is it just me, or do they look like vampires? Maybe it's because they have up to 3,000 teeth! Not to mention that each one is extremely pointy! You hate bug bites? Well, it's better then these!
BABY SHARKS!
It's not really the "Awwe" type of baby. But believe it or not.. Baby sharks are called pups! Yep! Again, PUPS! And yes, I know the image that pops up when you think of pups.
Well sadly, that's not what this blogs about. :(
Sharks can have 1-100 babies at the same time! Depending on what time of shark. Sharks don't really care for they're new born babies. They just find a safe place for the pups to hatch. YEAH! ABANDON THE BABY! Anyway, there are 3 ways for a pup to be born from they're mama. 1. Eggs are laid.. 2.They hatch inside the mama, then they're born....3. Grow inside the mamas, like humans.

Your blog was fun you put good facts.
ReplyDeleteP.S. you could add a video
I didn't think that a video was necessary. Because the only shark video that i knew what "Ima Shak" one and julian already had that. So I CAN'T.
ReplyDeleteGOOD DAY!
Duancan you are obsessed with the viedos! We dont have to. We never put viedos before and just because you put several viedos dosent mean everyone has to!
ReplyDeleteANYWAYS< I loved your blog so much! Amazing facts and so much personality!!!! :) Keep doing what you are doing! But maybe but you could have a little more about the skin!
Yous blog was great but add more facts,
ReplyDelete3.7 out of 4
awesome post.
ReplyDeleteYou did amazing because you put good facts. I think you did good and you did not need to do any videos.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! You did a great job on pretty much everything. I loved it! Grammar is a must though, for everyone! (including myself) Great work Flubbs! :)
ReplyDeleteZeina, that was amazing. When I came here, I expected the whole 'sharks are bad' concept. And I'm not say that's what I expected of YOU. Just what I expected because that's what most people think. I think you did very good. It was well-written, and I could definitely see your personality. I like how you tried to make people see reason. Not play up to what they want to hear, like sharks are bad, but what is true, because sharks are good. What I think you could've done is put a picture of a baby shark, because you said that it's not the type of baby we imagine, so maybe you should have shown people what they really look like. You did amazing, Zeina. I think I'm going to recruit you to saving the animals. I will definitely be coming back to this blog to learn more. Keep up the good work! -Live Long, Stay Strong
ReplyDeleteYou did a very good job on this! You had some grammar mistakes here and there, but you had interesting information. I liked how you had several pictures for those visual learners out there.(like me) You had good facts and I liked that you shared your opinion and made it easy to read. You did great! Keep up the hard work!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I think you should've explained the lateral line. But other than that, you did amazing.
ReplyDeleteOh, sorry, I forgot: maybe some grammar checks. but again, other than that, you're awesome.
ReplyDeleteFatima, don't leave an essay for her to read.
