Where Do Baby Sharks Live?

Sharks are fish that live in oceans and seas around the world.

The young of some shark species spend their early lives in relatively shallow, sheltered coastal waters.

Coral reefs and nearby habitats provide important living spaces for several shark species.

These marine environments are also home to many fish, corals, and other underwater animals.

Our coloring page features an imaginative scene of a young shark exploring an underwater coral habitat.

Fun Facts About Sharks

Sharks are fish, not marine mammals.

Unlike most familiar fish, sharks have skeletons made primarily of cartilage rather than bone.

Most shark species have five gill slits on each side of their heads. Their gills allow them to take dissolved oxygen from the surrounding water.

Sharks also have dorsal fins, pectoral fins, and powerful tails that help them move through the water.

For many species, the upper part of the tail fin is longer than the lower part.

Baby sharks already have the basic body features of adult sharks.

Discover the Coral Reef

Coral reefs are important underwater habitats that support many different marine animals.

Although corals may look like colorful plants, they are animals. Reef-building corals are colonies of tiny organisms called polyps.

Over time, some corals create large reef structures that provide shelter and feeding areas for marine life.

Children can explore the shapes of the coral, seaweed, and shark while coloring this underwater scene.
