Sharks

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 centimetres long. The huge whale shark can be more than 15
metres 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

Robots
The word robot comes from the Czech word Robota which means labour or work.
A robot is known as a machine that does the work of a human being.
Robots are usually used to do repetitive work which requires high precision. For
instance, robots are used to produce cars. Later, robots may also perform surgical
operations on humans. A computer could direct the procedure with excellent precision.
Meanwhile, human surgeons could control the progress by monitoring the operation on
a large video screen.
Soon, robots may also do household chores, such as sweeping and mopping.
Robots may also be designed to do dangerous jobs like cleaning the site of a nuclear
accident.

distinct features. They have special free-floating clavicle bones that attach forelimbs to their
shoulder. These features allow cats to fit their bodies and heads into any space.
Cats use different kinds of sounds to communicate. They produce a wide range of sounds
including purring, meowing, growling, trilling, hissing, chirping, squeaking, clicking, and
grunting. The exchanged sounds are used by mother cats and her kittens to communicate. They
are also used between mating cats or to other species. Cats also use different sounds and
gestures to protect themselves and their offspring. A mother cat can fight even a larger dog to
protect her kittens. She usually hisses furiously and gives frightening warning by showing her
claws and making her hair stand on end.
