Nonfiction: Sharks: Ancient Survivors Name Score Read the passage, then answer the questions. Sharks: Ancient Survivors Sharks have swum in Earth’s oceans for more than 400 million years. They lived long before the dinosaurs and outlasted them too. A shark’s skeleton is made of bendy cartilage, not heavy bone. This makes sharks lighter and faster as they hunt. Rows of sharp teeth are always ready; when one falls out, another moves forward. Some sharks can sense the tiny electric signals given off by hidden prey. These amazing adaptations have helped sharks survive for ages. 1) How long have sharks existed? 2) What is a shark’s skeleton made of? 3) What happens when a tooth falls out? 4) What can some sharks sense?
