Orectolobiformes: Carpet Sharks In recent experiments by P.A. Pridmore, the bottom-walking behavior of the Epaulette Shark served as the model for the limb coordination that eventually enabled a tetrapod pioneer (probably an amphibian or proto-amphibian) to invade the terrestrial environment. The Whale Shark feeds at or near the surface, sometimes assuming a vertical orientation with its terminal mouth uppermost. I prefer to follow Compagno (1988) in regarding the collared carpet sharks (Parascylliidae) as the primitive sister taxon for the group, rather than the epaulette sharks (Hemiscylliidae) as proposed by Dingerkus. www.elasmo-research.org /education/shark_profiles/orectolobiformes.htm   (1307 words)

WowEssays.com - Different Types Of Sharks Sharks arose about 350 million years ago and have remained virtually unchanged for the past 70 million years and still comprise a dominant group. Obviously a small shark such as the Pygmy is harmless, but they still must be treated as a predator especially the bigger ones. These sharks listed here are definitely not all the sharks in the world, they were just meant to give an average range of size for all sharks. www.wowessays.com /dbase/af2/rsk240.shtml   (3105 words)

Axminster carpet --  Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - Your gateway to all Britannica has to offer! Resembling somewhat the Savonnerie carpets produced in France, Axminster carpets were symmetrically knotted by hand in wool on woolen warps and had a weft of flax or hemp. Carpet making, for which it is famous, was established there in 1755 and is continued in a modern factory. Although the exact origins of carpet weaving have not been determined, it is known that the Egyptians of the 3rd millennium BC wove carpets for the most part of linen ornamented by sewn on brightly coloured pieces of woollen cloth. concise.britannica.com /ebc/article-9356246?tocId=9356246   (810 words)

Oviparous Sharks I thought that eggcases occured in 4 shark families (but it is 6 with one species each for 2 families) but did not realize that there were over a hundred sharks (~25% of all sharks) which lay eggs. Until recently, the reproductive mode of the whale shark was uncertain, oviparous or ovoviparous. However, the rarity of 'free-living' whale shark eggs, the extreme thinness and lack of tendrils on the only known case, the considerable yolk and partially developed gill sieve in the only known embryo, and the presence of umbilcal scars on larger free living specimens 55 cm long suggest the whale shark is ovoviviparous." homepage.mac.com /mollet/Eggcases/Oviparous_sharks.html   (1167 words)

[No title] As their name implies, they lie like a carpet on the se bed which they are patterned like and lie in wait for a little morsel to pass by.

Wildlifeonline - Natural History of the Megamouth Shark The taxonomy of this shark was finally subjected to molecular phylogenetics (using DNA to infer relatedness) with the discovery of the seventh specimen, a 4.71m (15 ½ ft) female found washed ashore in Hakata Bay, Japan in November 1994. The biologists found that the shark spent the daytime at depths of between 120 and 166 m (394 – 545ft), migrating surface-ward to spend the nights in shallower water, between 12 and 25 m (39 – 82ft). The shark can apparently control the suction in its throat by moving its basihyal (the fish equivalent of a tongue) and, once it has cut a plug of flesh, it swims off (leaving a cookie-shaped cavity in its hapless victim). www.wildlifeonline.me.uk /megamouth.html   (2927 words)
