Most people are afraid of sharks, but they usually do not know much about them. For
example,there are about 35()speciesof sharks that live in oceans over the world. All of the
sharks are carnivores, but most of them don't attack people. Some sharks are very small - the
smallest shark is about 6 inches long - about as long as your hand. But some sharks are very
large. The largest species of sharks may be 6() feet long and weigh 15 tons. Unlike many
other kinds of fish, sharks do not have bone. Their bodies are made up of a kind of tough
white flexible material (called cartilage). Sharks do not have ears. Vlowever, they 'hear'
sounds and movements in the wade. Any sound or movement makes the water vibrates.
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.
