If you were a customer under
sea looking for a good "shark" like you look for a dress in a
market; you would have been thoroughly confused with the variety given to
you. There are over 460 known species of sharks, and they come in all shapes
and sizes. From huge Whale Shark, to small Spined Pygmy Shark, from lethargic
Sleeper Sharks to fastest swimmers Shortfin Makos; one may find all kind
of sharks, each adapted to its own peculiar niche in the sea. There are,
for instance, flat-packed angelsharks that hug the sea bed, torpedo-bodied
blue sharks that wander the open ocean, weird-looking goblin sharks with
long, pointed snouts that dwell in the deep sea, eel-shaped frilled sharks,
wobbegongs that resemble seaweed-encrusted rocks, highly-maneuverable hammerheads
with bizarre-shaped heads, megamouths with cavernous mouths and thick lips,
deep-sea sharks that glow in the dark and thresher sharks with amazingly
long, scythe-shaped tails.
