Talking Points

• Sharks are amazing creatures that live in the ocean. They have sharp teeth to help them catch their food. Remember, they are not like the sharks in movies, they are important animals in the ocean. Sharks play a big role in keeping the ocean ecosystem healthy.
• Did you know that sharks have been around for millions of years? They are one of the oldest living creatures on Earth. Imagine seeing a shark from a long time ago swimming in the ocean!
• Some sharks are huge, like the whale shark, while others are small, like the dwarf lantern shark. Each type of shark is unique and special in its own way. Just like how we are all different from each other.
• Sharks can swim very fast and some can jump out of the water! They have special fins that help them glide through the water smoothly. Can you pretend to swim like a shark and show me how fast you can go?
• When you think of a shark, you might picture a fierce predator. But did you know that some sharks are gentle and harmless to humans? It's important to understand that not all sharks are dangerous.
