different, has a unique diet, and behaves differently. There are sharks in all
four oceans of the world. Some sharks are longer than a school bus, while
others are so small they can live in fish tanks. Sharks come in all kinds of
colors. Most of the time, their skin color helps them blend in with their
surroundings. But, some sharks that live in the deepest part of the ocean
