Sharks are some of the most fascinating creatures that live in the big, blue ocean. Sharks are a type of fish, but they're not like the fish you see in your fish tank at home. They're much, much bigger and have been swimming in the sea for a very, very long time—over 400 million years!

Sharks come in all different shapes and sizes. Some are as small as your arm, like the dwarf lantern shark, while others can be as long as a school bus, like the great white shark. There are more than 500 different kinds of sharks, and they live in every ocean all around the world.

One of the most amazing things about sharks is that they have a special set of teeth. They don't have just one set; they have several rows! When a tooth gets lost or breaks, a new one grows in its place. That's like having a never-ending set of teeth!

Sharks are also great swimmers. They have a special fin called a dorsal fin on their back that helps them stay upright and a tail that helps them swim really fast. Some sharks can even jump out of the water, can you believe that?

But here's the most important thing to know about sharks: most of them are not dangerous to people. In fact, they're usually more scared of us than we are of them. They might accidentally bump into us, but that's usually a mistake. They prefer to eat fish and other sea creatures, not little humans.

Sharks are very important to the ocean. They help keep the balance of the ecosystem by eating the sick and weak fish, which helps keep the ocean healthy. They're like the doctors of the sea!
