Most people are afraid of sharks，but they usually do not know very much about them．For example，there are 350 types of sharks，and all of them are meat eaters．Some sharks are very big．
The whale shark is 50 to 60 feet long．But some sharks are very small．The dwarf（侏儒）shark is only 6 inches（英寸）long．Sharks are 100 million years old．In fact，they lived at the same time as dinosaurs．Today，sharks live in every ocean on the earth，but most sharks live in warm water．They keep the oceans clean because they eat sick fish and animals．Most sharks have four to six rows of teeth．When a shark's tooth falls out，another tooth moves in from behind．Sharks do not have ears．
