Sharks are fish, and as such, they all share a basic body shape. They are basically torpedo-shaped to help them slide quickly through the water. They have fins on their side and back, as well as a vertical tail.
They also have slits called gills on the sides of their face. That's how they breathe water. Sharks also have rows and rows of sharp, triangle-shaped teeth.
Of course, not all sharks look just alike. The hammerhead shark has eyes on the ends of weird stalks, and the megalodon was huge. Whale sharks are covered in spots and have mouths designed to filter tiny creatures from the water.
Ever since the movie Jaws was released in 1975, sharks have held an indelible place in popular culture. In addition to realistic sharks, you'll find some from video games, movies, and other stories in the list below.
