The Shark is a type of fish with an extremely streamlined body. However, from the time of its emergence, the Shark has been diversified into approximately 440 species. The size of these species ranges from the small dwarf lanternshark that is scientifically referred to as Etmopterus perryi that resides deep into the sea with its length being 17 centimeter to the whale shark that is scientifically referred to as Rhincodon typus that is the largest among the species with its length being 12 meters.
The Shark is among the types of animals that are found in all the seas that are present and mainly deep into it approximately to the depth range of 2,000 meters while some of them are found even more deep inside. It does not live in freshwater, but some of them like the bull shark and the river shark are also seen in the freshwater environment. The Shark is among the types of animals that is provided with five to seven slits of gills that help them with their respiration process. The body of Shark is available with the dermal denticles that help them to protect themselves from the skin damages or from other parasites. These structures also help the Sharks to move faster by maintaining and improving their fluid dynamics.
As it has been observed in the adaptations of the other fishes, the Sharks also extract the oxygen content from the seas and pass it over to the gills that ultimately help them to respire. The circulation process of the Shark begins from the deoxygenated blood that travels to the two chambered heart of the species. The Shark possesses the ability through its senses to smell, sight and hear.
The physical features of the Shark provide for the skeleton, jaw, teeth, fins, etc. These physical features that are present in the shark help them in the conduction of their body functions as well as many other activities.
