Many ocean creatures are hunters. They find

and eat other fish. But none of them can hunt

like a shark. Sharks are the best hunters in the

water. Is it because of their big strong teeth?

even scarier.

few minutes later ten sharks appear . How did

they know? Sharks have a very good sense of

smell. Their noses are amazing . They know

exactly where a smell is coming from.

too. Some parts of the ocean don’t get much

light. Sharks can find fish even in these dark

places.
