How to use shark in a sentence?

  1. Alicia Sampson:

    I saw something big, and it looked like a shark tooth, we were about knee deep in the water.

  2. Simon Allen:

    Foraging with a sponge is a time-consuming and largely solitary activity so it was long thought incompatible with the needs of male dolphins in Shark Bay - to invest time in forming close alliances with other males.

  3. Professor Long:

    We palaeontologists know that we can never find everything that ever once existed, but its unlikely something bigger in the shark world than megalodon ever existed or at least we would have clues about it — like a tooth or giant scale or something. Frankly nothing bigger than megalodon could have existed as there was likely not enough food to support it. It’s the same argument why lions are top of the food chain in Africa today.

  4. Christopher Lowe:

    People are bitten but rarely consumed, and that tells us that we are not on the shark's menu.

  5. Jonathan Houghton:

    When the shark opens its mouth, it's kind of like opening your jacket on a windy day. It inflates out and that cartilage gives it some structure so that its skin isn't just flapping around.
