Top Shark Facts

#1 A lengthy study completed in 2013 has found that shark moms go home — to the place where they were born — to give birth to their young.


#2 Sharks are apex predators. Sitting at the top of the food chain, they do not have any natural predators.


#3 Sharks can generate up to 40,000 pounds per square inch of pressure in a single bite. That's easily enough to chomp off a limb


#4 Almost 50 different shark species have light-emitting organs called photospheres. Sharks use their light for camouflage and to attract mates


#5 Modern sharks breathe by ram ventilation, a method that forces water into their mouths and then processes it as they swim forward


#6 Certain shark species (such as great white) will drown if they stop moving. They lack necessary muscles to pump water through their mouth


#7 There are 35 families of sharks altogether


#8 Why do shark embryos eat each other in the womb? They have different fathers and compete so one father’s pup is born and not others.


#9 Video research in 2014 shows that sharks can swim in schools of sharks made up of multiple shark species.


#10 Why are sharks important? They keep populations of smaller fish in check. Without sharks, entire ecosystems are disrupted.

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.
