Sharks To do:

First cut, stole layout from Oceanic_white_tipped_shark.
Need to verify
- young fed in utero by a placental sac ( not sure what this means ... just assumes silky is same as oceanic? :-) )
- Temperature, I have 2 books one say above 23 , the other say it likes 23 best.
Improvements:
- Better distribution, all I have is worldwide, but not how far north/south.
- Picture, I have one will try to upload at some time.
- More text, more headers!!

- Placental doesn't make sense to me either. I'm fairly certain that only mammals have placenta (and then only the placental mammals, not marsupials or egg layers). From the little I know about shark reproduction, viviparous sharks don't actually have a good way to feed their young. In some species, the young will actually eat each other for nutrition. That some sharks would have an advanced system like a placenta and others wouldn't have anything at all doesn't make sense to me. Athaler 18:21, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
