How to use shark in a sentence?

  1. Lisa Natanson:

    Sandbar sharks were all along the coast, while most of the dusky sharks were off North Carolina, we captured a bull shark for the first time since 2001, and recaptured 10 sharks previously tagged by our program and two sharks tagged by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.

  2. Jeff Weakley:

    I didn't see the shark, but the doctors were sure it was a shark bite. I went into the database as one of the statistics.

  3. Daymond John:

    You don’t build Books Shark Tank and they will come, you have your target customer be an integral part of your entire launch, from concept and beyond.

  4. Rick DeVoe:

    The kids were freaking out because the shark's going around our boat like 'Jaws'.

  5. Victoria Elena Vasquez:

    I've seen a few reports alluding to how dangerous and scary this shark might be, which is pretty funny to me since the largest one we found (a full grown adult) was 515 mm long (20 inches) from head to tail, since we don't have a lot of specimens we can't confirm if they grow larger, but since it lives in the deep sea, it would be too challenging for people to have a chance encounter in the water without a submersible.
