So we know who's the biggest. How about the smallest? That honor goes to the Dwarf Lantern Shark shown here as actual size. Very little is know about these sharks because they live in deep water: 900' to 1400'. It gets it's name due to it being bioluminescent

Frilled Shark. When they open their mouths, you’ll be able to see more than 300 teeth. Their faces resemble snakes. They have deep-set eyes and also upright slits for noses, as well as unlike various other sharks, their jaws are placed at the end of their nose as opposed to below them

Most sharks that we recognize as sharks have 5 gills. This one has 6. Called a Sixgill Shark this variety is much older than Great Whites or Tigers or Hammerheads. Why did nature go from 6 to 5 gills? Maybe at the time there was more Oxygen in the water (hundreds of millions of years ago) and it was just an evolutionary change. The way things are changing with our oceans warming up - that means less Oxygen in the water. Will nature adjust? Hope so.

Most sharks are born live. A few come out in egg cases. A female tiger shark will usually have about a half of dozen baby sharks in it's womb but only one is born live. These sharks are so agressive that the babies fight in the womb until only one is left to be born. Prior to birth he/she will eat the losers so he/she is of good size at birth.

At one time it was thought that sharks had to constantly swim getting water through their gills so they can extract the Oxygen or they would drown. Then it was noticed in the Bahamas, groups of Nurse Sharks gathered together sleeping (not moving) on the bottom. So now we know that as long as there is a current moving water over the shark's gills they don't have to swim. They also found Reef Sharks doing the same thing. That does not hold true in stangant water though.
