G'morning all
I hope this one isn't too tricky.

1. ID this shark
2. Describe its diet
3. Describe its preferred habitat
4. Name 2 interesting facts about its tail

Good luck !!

I know I know, but I can't remember!

I know it is a deep sea species.

1. Thresher Shark.
2. Pelagic schooling fish (such as bluefish, juvenile tuna, and mackerel), squid and cuttlefish.
3.They prefer the open ocean, staying within the first 500 m of the water column.
4. *This tail fin may often be 50 percent of the total length of the shark.
*It is used to herd and stun small fishes upon which the shark feeds.

Sorry to interfere here guys :D But taking copyright laws into account, Batmad is going back to the drawing board to show you all that he did in fact read the info he posted, and can tell it to you in his own words

DB......

great jen, laught at me

i know DB is just trying to help so here i go.


ragged tooth shark

reproduction-

is different to other sharks because its eggs hatches in side of the shark. enabiling it to give birth to live young. adults reach a breeding age when they are a certain length.


habits-

this shark takes breaths from the surface and swallows them enabiling it to stay motionless for a long time under the water. it will often do this under over hanging rock faces or underwater caves.


DB, happy?

I love the power Batmad
