Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the fastest shark in the world?

Answer: Shortfin mako shark

The shortfin mako shark is the speed of the sea. It has been seen swimming at 37 miles an hour, and can leap up to 20 feet in the air.
2. What sharks have gas-filled swim bladders?

Answer: None

Most fish have swim bladders that allows fish to stay at a certain level in the water without sinking. Fish do this by filling their swim bladders with gas that they use like air in a balloon. Sharks do not have this ability, so they must keep swimming to avoid sinking.
3. What species of shark is sometimes called "The swimming garbage can"?

Answer: Tiger shark

The tiger shark is an apex predator, and sometimes will eat inedible objects accidentally.
4. If the whale shark is the largest shark, what shark is the second largest?

Answer: Basking shark

The basking shark eats plankton like the whale shark, and is also the second largest fish.
5. If you are diving and you see a great white shark, what should you do?

Answer: Stay calm and get out of the water

Some people believe that sharks can hear your heart beating, and know if you calm or panicked.
6. When you turn a calm shark upside down, what does it do?

Answer: Falls asleep

This is an example of tonic immobility. Tonic immobility is a sleep-like state where sharks can become unresponsive when you turn them upside down. On larger sharks you must touch the snout to use tonic.
7. What are the main differences between a sawfish and a sawshark?

Answer: Size, teeth and habitat

The main difference between these two creatures is the size. The sawfish can be 20 feet long, while the sawshark only grows to 5 feet.
8. What is the smallest species of shark?

Answer: Dwarf lanternshark

The dwarf lanternshark is the smallest species of shark, with a maximum length of 9 inches.
9. What is the only natural predator of the great white shark?

Answer: Orca dolphin

Orcas have been known to prey upon great white sharks, and because they don't hunt alone like sharks do, the sharks are always outnumbered.
10. What species of shark is often involved in feeding frenzies?

Answer: Lemon shark

Lemon sharks often hunt together, so the competition for food rises. All of my other example were made up.
