    Carcharhinus Leucas or bull sharks are the only species of sharks that are able to travel long distances and spend extended periods of time in freshwater environments. Although many people disagree, I believe that one of the bull sharks’ main reason for entering freshwater is to find breeding grounds. There is evidence that supports this theory, and it seems to me a very logical explanation, however it is a controversial concept. In this paper, I will discuss what physical characteristics allow bull sharks to survive in both marine and fresh waters, and attempt to understand whether they do this…

    The Great White Shark

    Sharks are ovoviviparous, in which the baby shark forms within the female, inside an egg, and hatches inside the female, then the female shark will give live birth. Fertilization occurs inside the female when the male uses its claspers to insert the sperm into the female (Chewning). The total gestation period is about one year, and while in the womb the shark embryos eat the unfertilized eggs, which is a phenomenon called oophagy. Thus the great white shark can produce anywhere from two to fifteen pups. When the pups are born they are generally five feet long and can weight up to eighty pounds. This is the time when the mother swims away from her offspring and the pups are on their own to survive, however, from the one-year gestational period, and the nutrition from it’s brother or sister pup, the young shark is well on its way…

    The male will fertilize the female’s eggs which lie in her uterus, and once these eggs are fertilized, the mother will then carry them until they hatch within her, and she is ready to give the live birth. The gestational period for this organism is generally between ten and eleven months, and when the female gives birth, the number of offspring may be as low as five or six to as many as fifty pups. Generally, great hammerheads leave their mother’s care shortly after birth to begin hunting on their own. They will hunt and migrate, and then grow over the span of about thirty years which is the average lifetime of Sphyrna Mokarran. This is assuming that the organism is not consumed by a larger shark before reaching its adult stage. Great hammerheads do not have any natural predators once they are adults, but they still fall prey to human influence such as bycatching, and more severely trading of shark organs such as the skin and the fins. These factors have caused a serious decline in the great hammerhead population.…
