How does a shark protect itself?

Sharks have several adaptations that help them protect themselves, including:

- Teeth: Sharks have several rows of sharp, serrated teeth that are used for capturing and tearing prey.

- Skin: Sharks have tough, thick skin covered in dermal denticles (tiny tooth-like structures) that help protect them from injury.

- Cartilage: Sharks do not have bones, making them more difficult for predators to hurt.

- Fins: Sharks have powerful fins that allow them to move quickly and escape danger.

- Electroreceptors: Sharks have special sensors called electroreceptors that allow them to detect electrical fields generated by nearby animals. This can help them find prey and avoid predators.

- Camouflage: Some sharks, such as the Great White Shark, have coloration that helps them blend in with their surroundings and ambush prey.

- Migration: Some sharks migrate to different areas during different times of the year, which can help them avoid predators and find food.
