Characteristics of Sharks
Here are a list of the special characteristics of a shark to help you in drawing one:
- Although there are more than 400 different shark species, they all have the same basic anatomy. It is because of this anatomy that sets the shark apart from other types of aquatic life such as whales and dolphins.
- Their skeletons are made of cartilages instead of bones. Because of this, the weight of the shark is lessened even with its large deposits of fat. This helps them float, seeing as how they are large in size.
- They need to keep moving to stay afloat and to breathe.
- Their unique tough hides are studded with toothlike structures that are denticles.
- In comparison to bony fishes, sharks tend to mature much later and reproduce slowly.
- Their liver is uniquely different than other animals that have livers. Their livers can store oil in it for a long duration. This oil helps them to eat less often. With this, sharks can survive longer with the oil reserve in its liver. Sharks can go on for weeks, months, or even up to a year before they go hungry again.
