Not all sharks use their teeth to eat, some like the basking shark use their gill rakers to filter food from the water.
My daughter Penny, attended Shark Day and had a blast! Her favorite parts were touching the skates, exploring the intertidal zone and the shark teeth discovery & analysis activity. She also enjoyed feeding time for the seals, the touch tank and drawing the sharks to scale! We will be back next summer!
