Fun facts about sharks

Sharks have been swimming in the oceans for more than 400 million years, longer than trees have existed. Many sharks lose and replace thousands of teeth in a lifetime, with new rows always growing behind the old ones.

The whale shark is the biggest fish in the world, yet it eats tiny plankton and is gentle with divers. A hammerhead's wide head spreads out its eyes and senses, helping it find stingrays hidden in the sand.

Coloring tips for sharks

Most sharks are gray or blue-gray on top and white underneath, which hides them from above and below. Whale sharks are dark blue-gray with white spots and stripes, and leopard sharks are tan with dark spots.

Underwater scenes look deep and calm with darker blues at the bottom and lighter teal near the surface. Online, fill the water first with one tap, then color the shark and use the brush for bubbles and fins.
