How Much Do Sharks Eat?

The amount of food that a shark eats each day depends on the type of shark it is.
Some Shark species will eat huge meals and then not eat again for weeks. They are able to survive on the oil that is stored in the liver when they do eat. When that gets low they will have the instinct to eat again.
The reason sharks don’t have to eat as much as people think is because they are cold blooded. This means their circulation is slowed down and they burn energy at a slower rate.
As you can see, sharks eat a variety of foods. While most of them are meat eaters that isn’t the only thing many of the species go after. For millions of years the various species of sharks have been able to evolve. One reason for this is that they have eaten what is readily available as necessary in order to stay strong and to be able to successfully reproduce.
