Text and Images from Sharks
Sharks are a kind of fish that live in
every ocean around the world.
Scientists think that sharks lived 200
million years before the dinosaurs.
That is a long time ago!
There are many different types of sharks. See if you can tell which shark is a hammerhead shark, which is a tiger shark and which is a great white shark.
