Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The scalloped hammerhead shark stays in deep waters.

Answer: False

The statement is false. The scalloped hammerhead shark is the most commonly found species of hammerhead in the shallows near the shore.
2. The pelagic thresher shark's tail is nearly as long as its body.

Answer: True

Yes, it is a true statement. Nearly half of this shark's 20-foot length includes its tail.
3. The goblin shark lives up to its name by nibbling the toes of swimmers.

Answer: False

This 10-foot long shark preys on small octopuses and fish. It has rarely even been seen by people.
4. The longnose sawshark can saw through the planks of a wooden boat.

Answer: False

This shy shark uses its fierce looking snout to swipe at dinner. The dinner includes fish, squid, and crustaceans. Sounds like some mighty fine eating to me.
5. The tawny nurse sharks hunt aggressively all day and sleep all night.

Answer: False

These sharks lie resting, motion-less, during the day. They hunt at night, often sucking up sleeping prey. I would have to say my 'prey'ers if I knew I was going to be shark food.
6. The whale shark is the largest fish.

Answer: True

No fish is bigger than this 40-foot-long whale shark. The 30-foot-long basking shark is the second largest.
7. The scalloped hammerhead shark's odd-shaped skull is made of extra thick bone.

Answer: False

Like all sharks, the hammerhead's skull and skeleton are made of cartilage- the same flexible material that is in your ears and nose.
8. Whale sharks chew their food.

Answer: False

You might find this suprising. Inside a whale shark's mouth are 3,000 to 5,000 teeth, arranged in rows. However, each tooth is so small it is useless for biting or chewing. Try that the next time your mom makes you eat those brussel sprouts!
9. The mouth of the bottom-feeding nurse shark is designed for sucking.

Answer: True

Nurse sharks are suction-feeders, slurping up crabs and other small prey from the sandy seafloor.
10. Another name for the pelagic thresher shark is the swingletail.

Answer: True

Nicknames for the thresher also include the foxtail and sickletail shark. I hope you enjoyed my quiz, and that you learned a little about sharks.
