The shark, who plays an important role in maintaining ecosystems, is a fish that lives in the
sea, particularly in warm waters. Like all fish, sharks breathe through their gills.

There are about 375 species of sharks. The smallest shark is called the dwarf dogfish, less
than 20 centimeters long. The huge whale shark can be more than 15 meters long. Sharks
usually eat fish and shellfish, but great white sharks sometimes eat seals, dolphins, whales,
and other marine mammals.

Sharks are vertebrates, animals with a backbone. However, a shark's skeleton is not made of
bone. It is made of a bendable material called cartilage. A shark's teeth are set into its gums.
While eating, a shark often loses teeth. But there are always rows of new teeth growing
behind the first set. As a shark loses teeth, new ones move forward to replace them.

Jellyfish are not really fish. They are invertebrate animals. This means that unlike fish or
people, they have no backbones. In fact, they have no bones at all.
Jellyfish have stomachs and mouths, but no heads. They have nervous systems for sensing the
world around them, but no brains. They are made almost entirely of water, which is why you
can look through them.
Some jellyfish can glow in darkness by making their own light. The light is made by a
chemical reaction inside the jellyfish. Scientists believe jellyfish glow for several reasons. For
example, they may glow to scare away predators or to attract animals they like to eat.
Most jellyfish live in salt water, apart from a few types that live in fresh water. Jellyfish are
found in oceans and seas all over the world. They live in warm, tropical seas and in icy waters
near the North and South poles.
