Shark Facts, cool

1. Great White Sharks grow about 10 inches per year. Great Whites can grow to mature lengths of 12 to 14 feet.
2. New teeth are constantly being formed in rows in a shark's jaw. Shark's teeth are normally replaced every eight days.
3. Some species of sharks can shed as many as 30,000 teeth in their lifetime.
4. Whale Sharks have approximately 300 rows of teeth, with hundreds of tiny teeth in each row.
5. Dried shark skin (shagreen) was used in the past as sandpaper. In Germany and Japan, shark skin was used on sword handles for a non-slip grip.
6. In 1937, shark liver oil was discovered to be rich in vitamin A. Sharks were hunted for the vitamin until 1950, when a synthesizing method was developed for vitamin A.
7. The average life span of a shark is 25 years, but some sharks can live to be 100.
8. The dogfish sharks are named for their tendency to attack their prey as a pack of wild dogs would.
9. Great White Sharks can go as long as three months without eating.
10. Not all sharks have to be in continuous motion to breathe.
11. Bull Sharks can tolerate a wide range of salinity and are often found in freshwater rivers and lakes in Africa and South America.
12. More people are killed each year by dogs, pigs and deer than by sharks.
13. The Pygmy Shark has a maximum length of 11 inches.
14. Sharks have no bones. A shark's skeleton is made up of cartilage.
15. There are more than 340 known species of sharks.
16. Sharks first appeared in the fossil record over 400 million years ago.
17. A significant physical trait that separates a modern shark from an ancient shark is the protrusile jaw, which gives the modern shark more biting force.
18. Sharks can generate about six and a half tons per square inch of biting force.
19. A shark's skin is embedded with dermal denticles, which resemble teeth.
20. The Shortfin Mako shark is probably the fastest fish in the ocean, clocked at about 60 mph.

Upside down shark - can't swim
Upside down tiger - can't swim, can't run
thats twice as rubbish
Upside down moth - can't swim, can't run, can't fly
thats 4 times as rubbish.

Upside down tiger moth is therefore 2 to the power 4 = 16 times as rubbish, which, by association, also makes a tiger 16 times as rubbish as a shark.

However, bot too many people killed at local zoo by sharks?

"A desperate father fought in vain to save his eight-year-old son from being mauled to death by a tiger on Sunday at a zoo in Changde, Central China's Hunan Province.

Victim Mei Changhua climbed over a 1-metre-high barrier to get a better view of the big cats, when a tiger attacked him through the bars of its cage.

Despite his father's efforts, Mei bled to death before reaching hospital on Sunday, the local newspaper Xiaoxiang Morning Post reported.

The death has prompted an outcry, with the zoo being slammed for failing to protect visitors."

Also

Most People Killed By A Tiger
Panic-stricken villagers were left house-bound as a man-eating tigress stalked Champawat, India, early in the 20th century. She was said to have gone on a killing spree, attacking and killing 436 people from 1903 until she was stopped in her tracks in 1907. This made her the perpetrator of the worst man-eating act in history. She was killed by famous game hunter, Jim Corbett, who was said to be responsible for hunting and killing at least 10 man-eaters.

Awesome, 436 killed!

[*Carol*]

cat > fish

big cat > big fish

Be cautious when insulting the Tiger, some are not so tolerant

Awesome, 436 killed!

.

thats not really a valid comparison.

If those villagers had lived in the sea then I reckon over 4 years a shark would have had thousands of them for supper.

tigers are furry

there's no beating that

who care's that you can't use them as sandpaper?!

[DesignatedDriver]

i care!

three days i wasted trying smooth my floor boards with tiger skin, only to end up with a thorn in my foot.

damned tigers. thats why i hate them so much.

[SJ]

you should have used a nice tiger skin rug to cover up the splintery bits

[DesignatedDriver]

but i'd already ruined my tiger skin, trying to smooth the splintery bits. its catch22.

arghhh - i can feel the rage rising again!

one of these days i will get my own back on those blasted tigers.

i had invented an anti-striped animal gun, but i had to put it on the back-burner, cause i like zebras too much.
