Sharks - the basicsFascinating facts
Sharks have seven senses – the five that they share with humans, plus an electrical sense (small pores detect minute electrical currents in the water) and a lateral line (pressure sensitive cells beneath their skin), both of which help them detect prey and avoid predators.
A shark’s brain shows the importance of smell to sharks – up to two-thirds of its brain''s total weight is made up of olfactory lobes, which analyse smell.
