Re: The Megamouth Shark
If I remember correctly the megamouth is considered a prehistoric type shark because it has... something like seven gills instead of six or something like that... which is why many classify it in it's own family. I read that somewhere, just can't remember where.

Re: The Megamouth Shark
This extremely rare (only a few have been seen so far) deep water shark has an enormous mouth with big flabby lips... Not just enormous, but an ILLUMINATED mouth (to attract plankton). It seems it's more of a relative to the ancient Coelacanth than normal sharks. This is a species we did not know existed until 1976: only 41 such sharks have been found so far. Further reading: http://www.sharkinfo.ch/SI1_99e/megachasma.html A few facts about sharks: - A shark does not have one bone in its body. Its skeleton is made up of cartilage. Cartilage is a tough material, like the material that shapes your ear. - The Swell Shark, found in New Zealand, barks like a dog. - Weird things have been found inside a shark, such as a bottle of wine, a treasure chest, a suit of armor, a drum and a torpedo. - A shark’s skin is covered with denticles, which are small, razor-sharp teeth. - Not all huge sharks live in the warm or tropical waters. There is a shark species (still in many ways a mystery to biologists) that lives deep in the Artic water - sometimes as deep as 600 meters. |
