 | | Sharks can be characterized as large, marine predators with a cartilaginous skeleton, multiple (usually five) gill slits along the sides or bottom of the head, dermal denticles covering the body, and rows of replaceable teeth in the mouth. |
 | | Sharks include everything from a hand sized deep sea species, to the whale shark, the largest fish which is believed to grow to a maximum length of 18m (59 feet) and which, like the great whales, feeds only on plankton. |
 | | In ancient Greece, shark flesh was forbidden to be eaten at women's festivals. |
