Sharks are like so cool, did you know that sharks' skin is made up of dermal denticles, these are miniscule placoid scales that are similar to teeth, these dermal denticles are even covered in enamel, called vitro-dentine, and they also include dentine and a pulp cavity, which again makes them very comparable to teeth! Sharks are just silly little guys hehehshe!!

#Repost from @savingtheblue with @ming.app . Many species of shark, like the lemon, are viviparous. Their young hatch in the womb and develop connected to an umbilical cord. If you come across a lemon shark young enough, it is possible to see a belly button between the pectoral fins. 〰️〰️〰️〰️ 📸: @annieguttridge #shark #sharks #babyshark #funfacts #sharkfacts #marinebiology #sharklove #savesharks #sharkdive #sharkdiving #lemonshark #saltlife #joinus https://www.instagram.com/p/CABUTOQB_d9/?igshid=1uktnonuyi3mr

We’ve been covering hammerhead sharks lately, and some people may be wondering - why do these sharks have a hammer-shaped head in the first place? We’re going to answer this question and cover some hammerhead terminology, which will be especially helpful for our last hammerhead profile. The hammerhead’s hammer has a fancy scientific name - it’s called a cephalofoil! The cephalofoil has a few features that make it beneficial for the sharks. The most obvious feature is that it benefits their eyesight! Having such a wide head gives hammerheads an incredible field of vision, which helps them catch their prey. Sharks also have electricity-sensing organs called the ampullae of Lorenzini, which are found in high density on the front of sharks’ faces. The wide heads of hammerhead sharks provides more surface area for these electroreceptors, which enhances their ability to find prey. Some hammerheads, like the scalloped hammerhead, love to eat stingrays. They have actually been observed using their cephalofoil to wrestle and pin down stingrays to make it easier to eat them! ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #hammerhead #hammerheadshark #hammerheadprofiles #shark #sharks #sharkfacts #cephalofoil #adaptation #anatomy https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx2g_SjhgK4/?igshid=1lqwcz54xs4e6
