What is the evolutionary trait that makes
sharks a more ancient species than dinosaurs,

8
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:53.079
first appearing over four hundred million years
ago. Question two, averaging around sixteen

11
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:19.079

12
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.319
infamous shark attack in nineteen sixteen off
the New Jersey Shore inspired the novel and

00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:30.079
movie Jaws. Question five by number, what are the three most common shark

00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.040
brain teasers, and I'll resurface after

16
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:48.920
sharp answers. Welcome back, thrill
seeking shark of philes. Let's make a

17
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:53.400
feeding frenzy of those shark fact answers. Question one asked what evolutionary trait allowed

18
00:01:53.400 --> 00:02:00.000
sharks to predate dinosaurs by over two
hundred million years. Answer being a cartilaginous

19
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:05.120
fish. Fun fact. While dinosaurs
first appeared around two hundred thirty million years

20
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:09.520
ago, sharks and rays are members
of the taxon Chondrictheus cartilaginous fishes that trace

21
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:15.560
back over four hundred million years as
one of the earliest jawed vertebrates. Question

22
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:20.319
two asked what is the name for
the largest extant predatory shark species that can

23
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:27.319
reach over sixteen feet long. Answer
the great white shark Carcaradon carcareas fun fact.

24
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.319
The great white gets its name from
its massive calcified teeth, which give

25
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:36.280
it a speckled white underbelly. This
cold blooded carnivore is the largest predatory fish

26
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:40.199
on Earth, capable of weighing over
five thousand pounds. Question three asked what

27
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:46.560
Hawaiian word describes the long migratory patterns
of some shark species. The term laco

28
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:52.599
refers to shark species like great whites
and whale sharks that undergo aimless wandering migrations

29
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:55.719
across thousands of miles of open ocean, following food sources and breeding patterns.

30
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:01.319
Question four asked which historical nineteen six
sixteen shark attack inspired the book and movie

31
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:06.960
Jaws. A series of attacks along
the Jersey Shore over a two week span

32
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.479
in July nineteen sixteen left four people
dead and one injured, spawning myths of

33
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:15.680
a single massive great white that inspired
Peter Benchley's Jaws novel. Question five ask

34
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:21.639
what are the three shark species most
frequently involved in unprovoked attacks on humans?

35
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:27.080
Answer, Great white, tiger,
and bull sharks. While extremely rare,

36
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:31.439
these three powerful species account for the
majority of confirmed unprovoked shark attacks due to

37
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:37.759
their aggressive tendencies, habitat proximity,
and sheer jaw strength. There you have

38
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:43.080

into our sharply toothed friends. Thanks for
