Summary:
Think all sharks are man-eating terrors? Think again! There's so much more to these fascinating, often peaceful, and frequently misunderstood, creatures. This book takes you through the hungry history of these incredible creatures. Sharks range in size from whale sharks longer than buses, to Panama catsharks and dwarf lantern sharks that could sit across the palm of your hand. We find out about prehistoric sharks, the largest known shark - the Megaladon - bull sharks, reef sharks, angel sharks and baby sharks, amongst others. We look inside at the parts of a shark, such as their very light skeleton, their razor-sharp teeth and their extra special electric sense that humans don't have. We also learn about their clever hunting and feeding techniques. Finally, we see how scientists are using many different technologies to find, follow and examine sharks to learn more about them.
