    Sharks have several similarities including being carnivores with cartilaginous skeletons and oily livers instead of swim bladders. They can also detect very low concentrations of blood in water and have sensitive hearing. The document then describes three different shark species: the goblin shark which has an odd snout and lives in certain areas near Japan, the great white which can grow up to 16 feet and eats marine mammals, and the nurse shark which is bottom-dwelling and eats invertebrates and fish. It concludes that while sharks share traits, they also have different hunting methods, diets, speeds and sizes.
