How Do You Protect Sharks?
The sharks have enemies

The great white shark is known to be responsible for numerous shark attacks on humans, sharks are predators of many fish and animals that live in the ocean. However, a whale shark can swallow a whole, if a group of dolphins are threatened by a shark, shark attack with a strong attack on the weak parts of their gill shark, a swordfish may hurt the sharks with its sharp beak. A shark also has to worry about the octopus, sea snakes, sea lions, squid, big fish and the porcupine. Sharks can even be enemies of other sharks. Many species of sharks eat smaller sharks.

How do you protect sharks?
2. A shark has many ways to protect yourself. The shark's body is streamlined for fast swimming across the ocean and away from predators, they can swim about 22 miles per hour, and even faster in short bursts. Some sharks are bottom dwellers (spend much time on the ocean floor) and are camouflaged to blend in with its surroundings, these sharks are silent, unnoticed, until their prey is presented, then suddenly capture their unsuspecting prey . The sharks have scales on their body (denticles), which are like small teeth embedded in the skin of the shark. The denticles may harm a fish if it touches the shark on the wrong side. But perhaps what the Sharks are known for is its teeth, sharks have several rows of teeth, and can have up to 3,000 teeth in your life, you have so many teeth due to the way they eat. They bite their prey and shake so violently that the shark lost many teeth in the process, and when a shark loses a tooth, a new one grows in its place.
A shark uses its senses
3. Sharks use their senses differently for protection, they have small holes all over his head called ampullae of Lorenzini, these are nerve receptors electricity in the water, they emit electrical currents when they move, that sharks can detect . A shark also has a keen sense of smell, so it can smell blood miles away. Another way that a shark uses is called lateral line, all fish have this sense, which is the ability to detect vibrations in the water.
