Dive into the scary world of sharks! Fun facts with vibrant photographs and artwork give an almost too-close-for-comfort introduction into the lives and habits of sharks. Giant teeth, hunting practices, and shark development are all discussed with special sections on the Great White, Hammerhead, and Whale shark--at 50 feet long and 25 tons the largest fish in the ocean (and it only eats plankton!).
