Question 4)
The answer is "D". The shark fossils of over 300,000,000 years ago, predate that of the dinosaurs. Sharks are incrediblity able to adapt to changing environments.
Question 5)
The answer is "A". Did you pick the whale shark? If you did, you're right! At sizes up to 42 feet long, it's twice the size of the Great White. Even though they have over 7000 teeth, they are called "filter feeders". This means that they eat mostly plankton, but also skim the water picking up extremely small squid, and fish. They are virtually carbon copies of their ancestors living over 100,000,000 years ago.
