Some interesting facts about sharks

• Sharks have the most powerful jaws on the planet. Sharks never run out of teeth. A shark may use over 20,000 teeth during its life. It always has a row of smaller teeth developing behind its front teeth. The smaller teeth move forward, like a conveyor belt, and the front teeth fall out.

• Scientists can tell the age of a shark by counting the rings on its vertebrae (similar to how they can tell how old a tree is by counting its rings!).

• In Fiji and the Solomon Islands it is forbidden to eat sharks.

• Nurse Sharks are thought to be the laziest sharks, they refuse to move in cold months, have a limited diet and don’t need to move to breathe like other sharks.

• Shark fin soup is a popular traditional dish in Asia, Hawaii and Australia. Up to 73 million sharks are killed a year for their fins.

25. Прочитайте текст. Какие факты об акулах, с вашей точки зрения, являются наиболее интересными и малоизвестными?

Ответ:

From my point of view, the most interesting fact is that a shark may use over 20,000 teeth during its life. It is also rarely known that scientists can tell the age of a shark by counting the rings on its vertebrae, similar to trees. Another surprising fact is that Nurse Sharks are considered the laziest sharks and they don't need to move to breathe.

С моей точки зрения, самый интересный факт заключается в том, что акула может использовать более 20 000 зубов за свою жизнь. Также малоизвестно, что ученые могут определить возраст акулы, подсчитывая кольца на ее позвонках, подобно деревьям. Еще один удивительный факт — акулы-няньки считаются самыми ленивыми акулами, и им не нужно двигаться, чтобы дышать.
