About the sharks
Something that distinguishes sharks from other aquatic and terrestrial organisms is that they do not have a single bone, are Chondrichthyes-cartilaginous fish, their skeleton is made up of pure cartilage. The skeletal system of other living things allows the bones act as microscopic channels that lead to nerve fibers and blood vessels, the cartilage does not have such channels. Sharks are living organisms that have an immune system with real power, their wounds heal quickly, free of infections because the antibodies in the blood very effectively fight bacterial and viral infections, protecting them from many chemicals that would give death or other disease. The shark is one of the little creatures that rarely get ill with cancer.
Sharks have rows of teeth that occur regularly and move at regular intervals. The old teeth will loosen and are replaced by a new row of new teeth behind them.
