How to use shark in a sentence?

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. George Burgess:

   We still dont know what the mating behavior of a mature female would be, but its one step forward in our understanding of whale shark reproductive biology.

4. Melissa Brunning:

   I think the shark was in shock as much as I was ... the only way I can describe it is this immense pressure and it felt like it was shredding it off the bone, i came up and I was like, ‘I’ve lost my finger, my finger’s gone.’.

5. Kai Survance:

   I did n’t wan na stick my hand out there, that tiger shark was massive.
