If you think that sharks are the most dangerous predator after watching the famous movie Jaws, then you will be surprised to know that its not sharks but the killer whale is the most dangerous predator. The killer whale is not a whale but in reality is a member of the dolphin family and it feeds on large sharks.
An another amazing fact about sharks is that a female shark can give birth to a baby shark without the need of a male DNA i.e. by using the process of parthenogenesis. The parthenogenesis process implies that the female sharks can reproduce without a male shark i.e. similar to hatching of unfertilized eggs.
An another interesting fact about sharks is that sharks can never get cancer due to the presence of a chemical called squalamine in sharks. This chemical called squalamine helps the sharks in battling tumors. Hence this squalamine chemical present in sharks, is being considered by some doctors to be a cure for cancer.
The fourth amazing fact about sharks busts the myth that a shark would die if it stops swimming. It is observed that buccal pumping method which is used by some of the sharks can help them to breathe even when they are resting.

Even if it is so amazing, I still rather not come face to face with a shark in the ocean.
It does make my heart beat faster with this thought.
That was something new I learnt by reading this blog. I wonder whether sharks are the same as cods
This is interesting information and all new to me. Thanks for sharing!
What about prehistoric sea monster?Do you know about it? It was also interesting to discuss. I think they are the most dangerous predator under the sea larger than the shark living millions of years on the deep blue sea ;)
