	Bio - Shark Wikipedia Shark
		Sharks generally rely on their superior sense of smell to find prey, but once they are close they also use the lateral lines running along their sides to sense movement in the water and also employ special sensory pores on their heads to detect electrical pulses created by the muscles of prey.
		Sharks include everything from the hand-sized pygmy shark, a deep sea species, to the whale shark, the largest fish (although sharks are not closely related to bony fish) which is believed to grow to a maximum length of 18m (59 feet) and which, like the great whales, feeds only on plankton.
		Sharks are often killed for shark fin soup, in which many sharks are hunted for their fins, which are cut off with a hot metal blade before the live animal is tossed back into the water.

	Shark Summary
		Sharks do have hard teeth, and to a lesser degree hard scales and spines, which preserve well in the fossil record and are the main indicators of their presence in ancient times.
		Shark eyes are similar to the eyes of other vertebrates, including similar lenses, corneas and retinas, though their eyesight is well adapted to their marine environment with the help of a tissue called tapetum lucidum.
		Sharks include everything from the hand-sized pygmy shark, Euprotomicrus bispinatus, a deep sea species, to the whale shark, Rhincodon typus, which is known to grow to a maximum length of approximately 15 metres (49 feet) and which, like the great whales, feeds only on plankton.

	Headington Shark
		The Shark became the most famous resident of Headington when it landed in the roof of 2 New High Street (see map) on 9 August 1986.
		The council then decided that the shark was development within the definition contained in Section 22 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1971, and that as such it had to be removed.
		In this case it is not in dispute that the shark is not in harmony with its surroundings, but then it is not intended to be in harmony with them.

	The Headington Shark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Headington Shark is a sculpture situated at 2 New High Street, Headington, Oxford, England, depicting a shark embedded head-first in the roof of the house.
		The sculpture was erected on the 41st anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Nagasaki.
		Eventually the matter was taken to the central government, where the Department for the Environment ruled that the shark would be allowed to remain due to its artistic nature.

		The premiere of Shark, which aired last night on CBS as part of the new fall lineup, is full of in-your-face attitude that lights up with the presence of James Woods.
		Standing at the end of a Shark River Bay dock when he was 10 years old, Michael Mixon watched as a sailboat on the water silently glided past him and out to the Atlantic Ocean.
		The producers of Shark should be thanking their lucky stars that they signed James Woods to play the title character, because without him this new legal drama wouldn't have much bite.

		This shark was not a property developer, but a life size replica of Carcharodon Carcharias.

		So the appeal was allowed; to this day, the shark remains accommodated in the upper storey of a terraced house in Headington.
