Why do we need Sharks?
Sharks are not simply the most feared creatures of the deep, but they also play a significant role within our ecosystem. If sharks were to disappear, the sea balance would be thrown off, resulting in extinction of many species. White shark numbers are currently so low that they could soon disappear forever if not protected.
- Did you know....
- The Whale Shark is the largest of the shark species, which can grow up to an astonishing 14 meters long!
- The Mako Shark is the fastest shark in the ocean, which can swim up to 22mph!
- The Dusky Shark has the strongest bite, exerting 132 pounds of pressure when it closes its jaw.
