A shark's bite may kill prey, but it's the teeth covering its body that make the fish such a good hunter, new research suggests. Sharks are covered in flexible scales—nearly invisible to the human eye ...
Scientists recently made news by using fossil shark scales to reconstruct shark communities from millions of years ago. At the same time, an international team of researchers led by UC Santa Barbara ...

Laboratory experiments suggest the tooth-like scales of the puffadder shyshark can be degraded by acidifying oceans Graeme Kruger / flickr (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0) Shark skin is seriously tough. Blanketing ...
Mako sharks can swim as fast as 70 to 80mph, earning them the moniker “cheetahs of the ocean.” Now scientists at the University of Alabama have determined one major factor in how mako sharks are able ...
