particles are very small substances that are actually inside your eyes. Your eye muscles move more than 100,000 times a day and are in constant motion, even when you are sleeping. You blink about 5,000 times a day. You spend a half-hour just blinking. With every blink, you bathe your eyes with a fluid that protects them from damage and disease.

Their color is enough to startle any swimmer. They are bright bubblegum pink and range from three to thirteen feet long. The skin is softer and flabbier than most sharks. The goblin shark has a very long, triangular snout that looks like a large, pink triangular blade slicing through the water. This snout also helps the shark use its sixth sense to find prey. Sharks are able to sense electrical impulses given off by prey swimming in the surrounding water. Like most sharks, this pink predator has very sharp teeth in the front of its mouth for grasping prey. It has smaller teeth in the back of its mouth for crunching bones and chewing flesh. Goblin sharks feed on fish, squid, crabs, lobsters, and other similar prey. When hunting, goblin sharks can even stick their jaws right out of their heads making them look even more ugly and terrifying. They use this extended jaw to catch prey. The strange pink color and scary appearance probably led to their name. They certainly look like truly scary Halloween creatures dreamed up by a horror movie writer. However, goblin sharks actually belong to a family of sharks known as mackerel sharks. Scientifically Speaking Download 10.24 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
