I am reading the book “1000 facts on sharks “. There is no author. The genre is informational. The topic is about sharks. The main idea is that sharks are cool animals and we should protect it. What I learned from this story is that the largest shark is called a whale shark it can reach a maximum size of 60 ft. I never knew that sharks have everything that we have inside as a human but inside of lungs they have gills never knew that “shark skin is so rough that in the past it was used to make a type of sand paper called shagreen”. Another interesting fact is “sharks brains aren’t round like ours they are long and narrow”.

A interesting fact is a” basking sharks have huge livers that weigh up to 4,500lb”.another fact is “that there are 9 species of hammerheads. Another interesting fact about sharks are” a reindeer was found inside a dead Greenland sharks stomach. A fact is “some sailors used to think sawfish sawed holes in boats in order to eat the passengers, but ther was no evidence.
