Download or read book The Private Life of Sharks written by Michael Bright and published by Robson Books Limited. This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharks frighten and fascinate people. They stir the ultimate primeval fear: that of being eaten alive. Usually depicted as killing machines, cold and calculating, sharks are, in fact, as Michael Bright illustrates, remarkable creatures that we are just beginning to understand. New studies by acquanauts and scientists have begun to reveal the private life of the shark, enabling us to learn more about this much misunderstood creature. Recent observations of the notorious Great White shark have revealed that, far from being the solitary predator that it is so often portrayed, Great Whites have in fact frequent interactions with other sharks and live in a complex society, adhering to strict social rules. Research has also revealed that although the Great White is responsible for most shark attacks on humans, these attacks are, in fact, a case of mistaken identity, the shark spitting out its bite once realizing its prey is not the seal or sea lion it anticipated. During the past two decades the fate of the shark has become inextricably linked with the way in which people have been treating the planet. The Private Life of Sharks is the most up-to-date account of the life of sharks and their extraordinary behaviour. It explores their natural history and the important role they play as apex predators in the world's oceans. It also highlights their exploitation and vulnerability, and their unexpected demise.
Download or read book 14 Fun Facts About Great White Sharks written by Caitlind L. Alexander and published by Learning Island. This book was released on with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great white sharks are large sharks that roam the oceans. They have been named great whites because they are big, and because they have a white stomach. Their back is grey. Most sharks, and many other fish, have a stomach that is lighter than their back. That helps them to blend into the ocean. If a predator is looking down on them from above, their darker side blends in with the ocean bottom. If a predator is looking at them from below, their lighter side blends into to lighter shade at the top of the water. Scientists have begun to study these amazing animals more and more. Here are some fun facts they have found out about the great white shark. How much do you know about these wonderful marine animals? Can you answer these questions? What two things make great white sharks float? How many teeth can a great white have in their lifetime? How many great whites do humans kill each year? How do great whites warm themselves?
