The life cycle of a shark by Kiara


In the world there are 350 species of sharks in the world. A shark breathes from their gills. The female shark lays the eggs inside her. The great white shark skeleton is made from cartilage. The life cycle of the great white shark has three stages.

To begin with the male great white shark fertilise the eggs and the eggs hatch inside the female sharks stomach and the shark pups are born.

 At this point the sharks pups eat the unfertilised eggs.

Soon after they learn to hunt and eat the weaker pups and grow into adult sharks.
