the class of cartilaginous fish, and the superorder of the

shark (Selachii). The origin of the Russian word “shark” originates from the language of the ancient Vikings, who called any fish with the word “hakall”. In the 18th century, in Russia, they began to call dangerous waterfowl and so the word originally sounded like “sharks”. Most sharks live in salt water, but some species live in fresh water. Due to the variety of species, the length of the sharks varies greatly: small bottom sharks barely reach 20 cm, and a whale shark reaches 20 meters and weighs 34 tons (weight of an average sperm whale). The shark skeleton has no bones and consists only of cartilage. The streamlined body is covered with scales with pronounced embossed protrusions, the strength of which is not inferior to the teeth, so the shark scales are called "skin of the teeth."

and 4 rows on the upper jaw with a total

of 180-220 teeth. In the jaws of the white and tiger sharks, there are 280-300 teeth, which are located in 5-6 rows on each jaw. The number of dentitions is 20-28 for each jaw, and the total number of teeth is 300-400. A whale shark has 14 thousand teeth in its mouth. The size of the shark's teeth is also different. For example, the size of the teeth of a white shark is 5 cm. The length of the teeth of sharks that feed on plankton is only 5 mm . Horned sharks, eating mainly bottom food, have front sharp small teeth and a back row of large crushing teeth. As a result of grinding or loss, the teeth of predatory fish are replaced by new, growing from the inside of the mouth

capable of fertilization only at 10 years of age, and

the whale shark becomes sexually mature at the age of 30-40 years. Sharks are characterized by internal fertilization: some species lay their eggs, others are egg-born, the rest are viviparous. The incubation period depends on the species and lasts from several months to 2 years. The laying of oviparous fish contains from 2 to 12 eggs. After fertilization, shark eggs are covered with a protein shell, which is also in turn covered with a horn-like shell. This allows you to protect them from various marine predators. The hatched cub immediately begins to live and eat on its own.
In sharks living in captivity, cases of parthenogenesis - fertilization without the participation of males, were recorded.
