Sharks are fish. But they have one characteristic that no other fish have: eyelids.

Unlike fish, sharks can only swim forward. That is because their fins are stiff and cannot be controlled by muscles.

Sharks have an amazing sense of hearing. They can hear prey up to 3000 feet away. Their ears are actually located inside of their heads.

Sharks have the thickest skin of any animal species. Some sharks have skin that is 6 inches thick.

Sharks have been on earth for over 450 million years. Of course none have any resemblance to those ancient sharks. Evolution keeps them changing - improving. Except this one - the Goblin Shark. For some unknown reason, this species stopped evolving 120 million years ago. What you see here is what you would see if you could go back in time.

Blue Sharks are the most endangered species on the planet. Blue Sharks are highly coveted for their fins used in shark fin soup. They are the only sharks that are actually blue.

Thresher Sharks use their tails to slap their prey to death.
