Ghost Shark
What different type of sea create are in the deep sea ? Have you ever heard of the Ghost shak if you haven’t the Ghost shark is a deep sea shark,maybe that’s why you haven’t heard about it. According to Cathleen Bester Ghost shark have branched off the shark 400 millions years ago and how it's somewhat different from the sharks. The Ghost shark has a small structure located in on its snout,there mouth are located behind their snout. They have three pairs of tooth plates,the upper jaw are sharp and their like blades,the lower jaw is flat and its use ot crunch it’s pray and their teeth continue to grow. Their bodys are smooth and color is silver white. Also there eye color are green and large that are just set high top of their

A Ghost shark isn’t exactly a shark,it’s a mixture between elasmobranchs and shark. Ghost sharks are only found in the pacific of Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia. Also as you may know Ghost Shark swim in very deep water,back then they it was hard to know what they what they look because of how they swim in the deep but recently that technology has advanced we are able to know how sort of they look like and to know which two they belong to. Recently they found Ghost shark in California and Western Hawaii and on video,Ghost sharks are to fast to be caught in ROV,remotely operated vehicle, which is very surprising a Ghost Shark was caught in video. This author's conclusion that Ghost shark are a very special species in there own way just like many other …show more content…
Torres states they environment they live in,biology,height,and weight. There are marine ofcourse, in deep water in 34s-47s,deep range 25-950m,usually 100 -600m. They feed on shellfish,worms,small fish and crustacean it’s what they feed them self with. Their length could be up to 96.0 cm it’s a common length,55.0cm tall it’s also a common height. Ghost sharks are usually in New Zealand and Australia . The author conclusion Ghost sharks are a very stable sharks that live in the deep sea,go for easier pray and it’s common pray. Another idea,by Lauren Fruen september 11,2017 is how deep they go and how big they are. 3 feet long that’s how long they are. The Ghost shark aren’t like the tiger shark and grey whites that go for big prey instead they go for smaller pray. They saw it traveling 67,000 foot down depth. Ghost shark are a special shark,why, they are only sharks that go down deep in the ocean. In conclusion Lauren Fruen says Ghost sharks aren’t normal shark,well many sharks are
Before seeing this film and looking into it all I was aware of is what was shown on social media, which is what awful creatures sharks are supposed to be. Saveourseas.com had eye-opening statements comparable to the film. There were many persuasive arguments such as “Great white sharks, like all animals, are individuals with individual behaviors and characteristics. As the largest predatory fish, reaching six meters, they don’t have much to fear and are confident and curious animals.” This is a large point in both the documentary and paper. Since most people are constantly worried about how scary the animals are. It is hard for these creatures to get good publicity since our society is so judgmental and believes every detail the media puts out into the world. There are many points that focus on how hunting great whites is becoming more and more illegal, which is necessary for how important they are in the world. These sharks are able to help maintain a healthy balance in the
The Carcharhinus leucas commonly called the "bull shark" is a very unique shark. The bull shark can live in both salt water and fresh water but is commonly found along the Mississippi River and around Nicaragua. The bull sharks has a very blunt rounded nose giving it a bullish type of appearance thus giving it the name bull shark. The sharks are a dark black to a light grey with a white underbelly. Bull sharks can grow to be about 350 cm long and weigh around 230 kilograms. Bull sharks also tend to have smaller eyes compared to many other sharks which indicates that the bull sharks have limited vision. The bull sharks have triangular teeth like the great white shark (one of the bull sharks cousins). The bulls teeth are heavily serrated and are about 1.5 inches long which makes it easy to tear apart the flesh of their prey.
This image is what a majority of people believe to be the shark. They believe it to be the bloodthirsty sea monster that appears in countless works of literature and films, but science says otherwise. The classic picture painted by the minds of sailors returning from years at sea come from imagination and sharks’ violent methods of hunting and mating. Sharks fear humans as much as humans fear sharks, and most sharks, particularly the “man-eating” great whites, only bite humans because they mistake surfers for seals. In earlier times, the ocean was a source of mystery and adventur...
The biggest of all fish is the whale shark (50 feet long).Sharks evolved 400 million years ago. But, the fish that dominates the sea today is the Bony fish. They have bone, swim bladder and paired fins. They can swim as fast as 70 miles per hour. In addition, 10 million years ago mammals invaded the sea and became streamlined. Dolphins and killers whales were descended from land carnivores. Walrus and seals are more recent invaders of the sea. They haven't yet lost their feet and come ashore to rest. There are more different types of organisms in the sea than on land, and there are a number of different environments. Large areas of the ocean floor have nothing but sand. The film talks about the cuttle fish, which bury themselves in the sand to hide from prey. Floating plankton need light to survive, so are the only found near the surface.
In Chinese tradition, Shark fin soup is called as “a celebration soup”, which people eat it to celebrate in various occasions. Moreover, people also believed that shark fin consisted of diverse nutrition values which provide them virility, wealth, and power(Wolchover, 2011). These beliefs lead to the beginning of poaching for sharks, the top of food chain in the sea world. Surprisingly, although people are aware of the decreasing number of sharks since the old days, around hundred million of sharks are still hunted each year(Heltus, 2013), to be served on luxury tables surrounded by those believers in things that they do not even prove whether the belief is reliable. Therefore, in the generation that people are mostly educated, sharks should no longer have to be continuously killed for their fins.
Seaworld is a giant marine life theme park. The greatest attraction to these many theme park would be those killer whales. In fact, these killer whales are the face of the park. As gigant as these mammals are, seaworld is keeping them in some pretty tight quarters. Mr. Jett and Mr.Ventre says “Wild killer whales can swim a hundred miles daily as they socialize, forage, communicate, and breed. In stark contrast, with little horizontal or vertical space in their enclosures, captive orcas swim only limited distances, with most spending many hours surface resting.” The animals don't have the freedom they need. Also when taking the whales out of their natural habit the whales tend to be depressed and not as heath in that situation. They need their freedom in the big ocean blue. Bring them into the small living units, breeding whales in captivity all for the entertainment of humans. At young ages the calves are taken away from their mothers on to a new seaworld park. Mothers of the calves have even been seen denying their offspring.
The Great white sharks sense of smell is better than a human. A great white shark could smell a drop of blood from at least 500 miles away! Their eyesight is not so good but when a great white shark is being attacked they roll their eyes to the back of their heads so they can protect them. Sharks have an ear stone that senses vibration in the water from over 100 miles away. Sharks are great hunters.
The Greenland shark is common in the vicinity of Scotland. It's 20 feet long, dark and has a tiny fin. It could possibly survive in freshwater like the Ness, using lakes and rivers for food where fish live. Hunter Steve Feltham hypothesized that the "monster" is a giant Wels catfish, while investigator R.T. Gould proposed a long-necked newt. Eels were once suggested because they're common in the Loch Ness, but their wavy movement counters sighting reports.
Mojetta wrote about prehistoric sharks, and the history of these creatures. According to Angelo Mojetta, author of Sharks, Cladoselache genus, one of the first prehistoric sharks, was buried in sediment that kept it preserved. Unlike other sharks, Cladoselache genus had a circle of tiny plates around it’s eyes for protection against it’s victim’s attempts to fight back. These sharks lived over 400 million years ago. Sharks of the past could mostly be identified by their teeth, because shark’s bodies are made of cartilage. Another shark that was focused on was called, Stethacanthus. This shark had a very unique look. Stethacanthus had a brush like decoration on the top of it’s head, and an extra fin like part that had the same bristle like decorations on it. These characteristics were thought to be used as suction cups, to hitch rides from larger fish. One of the most famous sharks that looks like an over...
SHARKS:a long-bodied chiefly marine fish with a cartilaginous skeleton, a prominent dorsal fin, and toothlike scales. Most sharks are predatory, although the largest kinds feed on plankton.
...s. According to studies and statistics done, you are more likely to be struck by lightning than killed by a shark. They are often misinterpreted as scary and violent creatures, however this is merely due to media. Shark based films such as Jaw show that these sharks are harmful when they really aren't. Tapes/recordings of sharks slaughtering humans are published so often because of its actual unusualness.
’’They are gray-brown to olive-green on top with off-white undersides,and they have heavily serrated,triangular teeth’’(National Geographic ‘’Hammerhead Sharks’’ 1).These are the usual colors of sharks. When you visualize a shark,the shark you would see would most likely resemble a bull shark. ’’They they almost resemble tiger sharks,and the problem is that tiger sharks are even more dangerous than bull sharks. To be honest,if you have to be extremely afraid of one species of shark,then it would probably be the bull shark. ’’Among the most likely sharks to attack humans,bull sharks favor shallow coastal waters-the same places humans prefer to swim’’(National Geographic ‘’Bull Shark’’ 1).This means that the bull shark would be the most feared by humans because they swim in the same places that humans swim.
On average they weigh 4,000-7,000 pounds and grow approximately 16-20 feet long ( Great white sharks 1). < commentary needed>Great Whites are the apex predator of the ocean containing 300 serrated teeth and highly-developed senses to hunt prey. Sharks have a great senses of smell, the Great White can smell a drop of blood thousand of miles away. They’re hearing is very powerful , being able to hear the vibrations of prey distances of about 800 ft away and find the exact location through ‘ear stone’( Great white 3). A shark 's sense of hearing truly shows their uniqueness as an apex predator. In addition to great hearing they’re known to have great sight by being able to see up to 50ft away and transition into seeing in light and dark. Additionally sharks have a lateral line on their back that reaches from the front to the back tail, allowing
Thesis: Sharks should be conserved because they are an important part of the ocean, attacks are often incidental, and human behavior influences the behavior of sharks.
Most people think that sharks are large, fast-swimmers, and savage predators. This is true of some species and groups should be interested of the appealing aspects of biology found within it: all sharks have an excellent sense of smell; some can detect electrical discharges; some sharks give birth to one of the
