🌊Sharks paragraph🦈

Sharks

Sharks can be found in most oceans such as,  Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic and Southern oceans, but they do not swim in the Antarctic because the water is too cold. They can also be found in lakes that don't have salt water and some rivers. There are around 250 species of sharks including, great white, tiger shark, bull shark, whale shark, nurse shark, hammerhead and many many more. Most sharks have a light grey back and white belly, they have a sleek shape letting them get through the water quickly, they can be identified by their dorsal fin, they have 2 rows of sharp teeth and they have large round eyes, with a sharks good eyes they allow them to see colour at different levels of light. Like cats they have a mirror like layer in the back of their eyes which is called tapetum lucidum giving them amazing eyesight. It is said that sharks can smell a single drop of blood from miles away, however it is known for sure that sharks have much better sense of smell than humans. Most sharks eat small fish and invertebrates (invertebrates are an animal lacking a backbone) bigger sharks will eat seals, sea lions and other water animals. Sharks only eat humans when they are confused or curious, they pretty much take a bite of a human and then spit it back out in disgust, they wouldn't eat a full human on purpose.

    1. Easier as in, easy to read? or easy to understand? I am trying to challenge myself with using larger and more difficult words and punctuation.
