Sharks are fearsome predators that strike fear into the hearts of many.

Here are a few interesting shark facts that you can talk about while making a cool paper bracelet…
Fascinating shark facts for kids
- On average sharks kill less than 10 people worldwide per year – you’re actually far more likely to die from a bee sting or a lightning strike
- Sharks have been on earth for at least 420 million years. In contrast, humans have been around for an estimated 200,000 years
- Sharks have several rows of teeth and can have up to 3000 teeth in their mouth at one time. If one tooth falls out, another moves forward to replace it
- Sharks are considered apex predators, meaning they are at the top of the food chain. Interestingly, there have been some Orcas known to hunt notorious Great White sharks
- Sharks have no bones at all, their skeleton is made of cartilage
- Sharks have a sixth sense, known as electroreceptors. This helps them to detect prey even when it’s hiding or camouflaged
