I love sharks, terrifying yet amazing creatures. Those spider pics however gave me the jeebies. I hate those damn things.
its intresting that sharks are completely made out of cartelidge (their skeletal structure) havening acquired bone loss which enables them to be lighter and more agile.
Its funny to know that their skin is comprised of teeth (denticles).

i think this is compensated by the production of oil in their liver or something. They do have some sort of buoyancy alternative if im not mistaken.

| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shark "Unlike bony fish, sharks do not have gas-filled swim bladders, but instead rely on a large liver filled with oil that contains squalene. The liver may constitute up to 30% of their body mass[6] for buoyancy. Its effectiveness is limited, so sharks employ dynamic lift to maintain depth and sink when they stop swimming. Some sharks, if inverted or stroked on the nose, enter a natural state of tonic immobility - researchers use this condition for handling sharks safely.[7] Sandtiger sharks are also known to gulp air from the surface and store it in their stomachs, using the stomach as a swim bladder." |

| Originally posted by Nrg2Nfinit Here we go, You are correct though, its only slight buoyancy and its not very effective. They have to use dynamic lift (as you explained) to keep themselves aloft. |
I approve.
