With 8 species of saltwater sharks on display—including the Japanese Bullhead, Leopard Shark, Coral Cat Shark, Epaulette Shark, Nurse Shark, Blacktip Reef Shark, Zebra Shark, and Whitetip Reef Shark—you’ll discover their unique traits, behaviors, and habitats.
Explore fascinating facts:
- Sharks have been around for over 400 million years, predating dinosaurs.
- Some sharks can glow in the dark, like the lantern shark.
- Sharks never run out of teeth—some go through 30,000 teeth in a lifetime!
- They can detect a heartbeat in the water using special sensors called ampullae of Lorenzini.
- Despite being top predators, sharks face threats from orcas, overfishing, pollution, and climate change.
