All about three sharks!
The Hammerhead, Tiger, and Great White Shark
By: Candelaria

     I chose to do my project about sharks because I kind
of like sharks. As you read, you’re going to read about three different
types of sharks. You’re going to read about what they eat
and how much they weight, and etc…Sharks eat a lot of things, but
the things that they eat the most are fish, crustaceans, marine
mammals, mollucs, other types of sharks, and sometimes
humans.
     You may think sharks are evil, but they are not. They are
just big fish from the sea that eat a lot of things (including
garbage). Sharks don’t really eat people; they just attack them.
When they see a person swimming around they think the person
is a turtle or a kind of big fish swimming around, so the shark
attacks the person.

Tiger Shark

     Did you know that the tiger shark lives for almost 12 years? This type of shark hunts alone and its name, Tiger shark, comes from the black stripes on its back. Tiger sharks have cockscomb-shaped teeth that allow the tiger shark to cut the bodies of large sea turtles as well as seals, sea lions, and cetaceans. The tiger shark usually eats cattle, pigs, donkeys, sheep, and humans that have fallen over board. Sharks also like spicy treats like venomous jellyfish, stingrays, and sea snakes.

Hammerhead Shark

     This type of shark is up to 11.5 feet long. The largest
reported was 20 feet long. It weighs over 500 pounds but
can weigh as much as 1,000 pounds. What does the hammerhead
shark eat? The hammerhead shark eats fish, stingrays, and
other sharks, squid, octopus, and crustaceans. But this
type of shark’s favorite food is the stingray. The
hammerhead kills the stingray by using its hammer to trow
the stingray down while it eats little pieces of the
stingray’s wings. Many hammerhead sharks are harmless to
people, but the great hammerhead shark is very dangerous.
DON’T GET CLOSE TO ONE!!!

Great White Shark

     The Great White shark has a lot of nicknames like white pointer, white shark and white death. This type of shark is found in all oceans, and it’s the world largest fish. This shark only eats humans and Orcas. This sharks weights almost 2,000 kilograms and is 20ft long,

SO WHEN YOU SEE THIS SHARK
GET OUT OF THE WATER AND…
RUN!!!
