Do sharks sleep? Some sharks such as the nurse shark have spiracles that force water across their gills allowing for stationary rest. Sharks do not sleep like humans do, but instead have active and restful periods.

Is Deep Blue bigger than Jaws?
The bottom line is that Jaws was by no means over the top when it predicted how large a great white might get, and Deep Blue is pretty much as big as that famous movie shark – and definitely a lot friendlier.
When was the last sighting of Deep Blue?
Deep blue has only been encountered a very small number of times the last being back in 2013 by Mauricio Hoyos of the Guadalupe islands. She is estimated to be between 19-21 feet in length and could be up to 50 years old.
Is there a shark bigger than Deep Blue?
Due to natural size constraints, scientists have speculated that great white sharks are unlikely to ever surpass 21 or 22 feet long. So even if a larger shark is ever discovered, it will probably exceed Deep Blue in size by only a matter of a few inches or perhaps a foot.
About 40 miles south-east of Martha’s Vineyard we came upon the largest great white shark I’ve ever seen. “It was 25-30ft long and weighed approximately 5,000lbs. Jaws does exist!”
Megalodons are extinct. They died out about 3.5 million years ago. And scientists know this because, once again, they looked at the teeth. All sharks – including megalodons – produce and ultimately lose tens of thousands of teeth throughout their lives.
What shark ruled the ocean?
The most famous prehistoric shark, Carcharocles megalodon, nicknamed megalodon or megatooth, ruled the seas from about 17 million years ago up to almost three million years ago.
Has a megalodon ever been found?
Fossil remains of megalodon have been found in shallow tropical and temperate seas along the coastlines and continental shelf regions of all continents except Antarctica.
Do sharks eat crocodiles?
Can you drown a shark?
Can You Drown a Shark? You’d be hard-pressed to drown a 10ft nurse shark, but you could, theoretically, drown a great white or any other species of pelagic shark. Unlike benthic sharks, pelagic sharks rely on ram ventilation exclusively. That means they can’t move backward without flooding their gills with water.
Can crocodiles smell period blood?
Yes, crocodiles can smell blood. Their sense of smell is well developed, and they can detect prey even if the carcass is far away. Crocodiles use chemoreception for hunting for food.
Who would win a crocodile or a hippo?
A hippo would win a fight against a crocodile. Although crocodiles are large, powerful creatures, they cannot kill a fully grown hippo. Hippos are large, roundish animals that are much taller than crocodiles. The only place they would be vulnerable to attack is their legs.
