                                                       mega mouth shark locations

  1.                         the mega mouth shark is shark and is a filter feeder the shark is a deep water swimmer and extremely rare it is super rare to see them eat a human and they mostly eat krill ,jelly fish and plankton the mega mouth shark was found in 1976 and they have rubbery lips and are a shark that swims with its mouth open.
  2.  there is only one question that I have and that is why are the mega mouth sharks eating humans.

whale shark 
the whale shark is a shark that dos not eat fish and prefers to eat like a whale and eat krill the whale shark is 41.50 feet long they have a life span of 70 years and is the largest filter feeding shark the species originated about 60 million years ago and lived to this day the whale swims in tropical waters and can be seen from shore the shark will swim in lagoons and coral reefs the whale shark is no threat to divers but can be a danger if its mouth is open and you are in the way you may be in the mouth of the whale and trapped inside.

I think that the whale shark is safe to us and will be for a long time

                                         Evolution of the shark

                    
                            sharks date back  450-420 million years before land and plants all shark came from the type of shark called megalodon and the shark megalodon was 67 feet long and still lives to this day and eats whales and other sharks . sharks grow 10 to 1000 teeth over a life time modern sharks look and think more different thain the sharks of the past.

                                                              crested horn shark




The crested horn shark has a large blunt head, very high supra-orbital crests, dorsal fin spines and distinct ventral and subterminal lobes on the tail fin
this shark has two dorsal fins they are both spines they are bottom duelers and and are nocturnal and eat off the reefs and all of the small organisms they prefer rocky vegetated areas they swim down (305)ft or (90)meters down and they can not harm humans and you can see the two horns on the head that gave them there name and they hide there eggs in sea weed and the crested horn baby is 22 cm long 

     in my idea of the sharks life style the shark would be a good pet
