Sharks and rays (elasmobranchs) are an amazing group of animals that have evolved over hundreds of millions of years into the diverse assemblage that we have today. They have adapted to thrive in virtually every saltwater body large enough to accommodate them. Some have even managed to overcome the problems associated with living in freshwater and colonized the great rivers of the tropics.
Please enjoy all of the shark pictures and information contained on our ever expanding database of shark and ray species and take away and pass on a renewed desire to help these incredible creatures survive in an increasingly hostile environment.
