In History of Animals, Greek philosopher and scientist Aristotle detailed shark biology and ecology in a way rarely seen before the Renaissance. In one passage, for instance, Aristotle described sharks’ use of shallow water nurseries: “Cartilaginous fishes come out from the main seas and deep waters towards the shore and there bring forth their young, and they do so for the sake of warmth and by way of protection for their young.”
SHARKS
Mark Bond, a shark expert at Florida International University, says Aristotle’s descriptions of nurseries and his observation that some sharks hatch from internal eggs before exiting their mothers are fascinating and provide further evidence of the abundance of the species at the time. “You would have thought that (sharks) must have been that much more abundant for (Aristotle) to pick up on stuff that we are still investigating centuries later,” he says.

Once, it was abundance
A shark expert at Florida International University, says Aristotle’s descriptions of nurseries and his observation that some sharks hatch from internal eggs before exiting their mothers are fascinating and provide further evidence of the abundance of the species at the time. “You would have thought that [sharks] must have been that much more abundant for (Aristotle) to pick up on stuff that we are still investigating centuries later,” he says.
Fierce predators
As tough as it is to believe, great white sharks, one of the ocean’s apex predators, do indeed have natural predators.
Pop culture, nature documentaries, and public opinion paint great whites as the biggest and “worst” fish in the ocean; however, they are not above being eaten themselves.
At the top of the food chain actually are killer whales and humans...
