(Woman) Sharks are
meat eating fish and are the most feared of sea creatures. Although no one
knows exactly how many species of sharks exist, over 350 have been identified.
Sharks vary greatly in size and behavior, and most species are found in warm
waters of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. People frequently believe that sharks
have few rivals, but a sharks greatest enemy is a bigger shark
(Man) Do they eat people?
(Woman) Contrary
to a popular belief that sharks virtually feed on people, fewer than 100 shark
attacks are reported each year I'd like to point out that this number includes
all attacks in the world.
(Man) How fast can sharks swim? If a shark attacks you- Do have a
chance to escape?
(Woman) Well,
an escape can be difficult, Usually. sharks are not very fast but when
necessary, they can move at bursts of up to forty-five miles an hour. Their
tails help sharks gain speed; however, they cannot maintain it for long periods
of time.
(Man) Their teeth do look pretty
frightening.
(Woman) The
most amazing feature of sharks is their teeth. First of all, sharks have several
rows of teeth, and second, their teeth can be replaced as often as every week
or two. Some people believe that before sharks bite. They have to turn over on
their backs, but that is a myth. Sharks can bite in any position.
(Man) In all the movies about sharks,
I've seen that they can hear movement in the
water from great distances. Is that also a myth?

it isn't. Sharks have a good sense of hearing and excellent eyesight that make
them excellent hunters. Also, their bodies can sense movement of water, which
allows them to, identify the presence of another live creature. Sharks can
detect even the smallest electrical fields emitted by fish that move their
gills. This ability also perinits sharks to navigate their way through the
ocean.
