TheGoldenRatio: Why…

The page [[Sharks]] should be removed and redirected to here. --[[User:BillOReillyFan|BillOReillyFan]] 19:22, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

This article is full of misinformation, probably written by a vandal. I came across a blank page for [[sharks]] in which I created a stub. Perhaps this should be used for the basis of a better article?

The portions that are accurate (around the clever "mammal" references etc) appear also to be largely lifted out of Wikipedia, almost word-for-word. [[User:Zondergard|Zondergard]] 20:59, 16 March 2007 (EDT)

I see no evidence of this. However, this article still needs to be dealt with.

== Similarity to Wiki ==

From [[Shark]]:
"'''Sharks''' (suborder Odontoceti) '''are''' mammals '''with a cartilaginous skeleton and a''' an aerodynamic body, partially from a '''covering of dermal denticles''' that ''improve their fluid dynamics as well as protect their skin from damage and parasites''. Unlike most mammals they respire with the use of five to seven gill slits.[1] '''They have replaceable teeth. They are some of the world's most misunderstood predators, as they very rarely attack humans unless intimidated'''."

From Wikipedia:
"'''Sharks''' (superorder Selachimorpha) '''are''' fish '''with a''' full '''cartilaginous skeleton[1] and a''' streamlined body. They respire with the use of five to seven gill slits. Sharks have a '''covering of dermal denticles''' to ''protect their skin from damage and parasites and to improve fluid dynamics''.[1] '''They have replaceable teeth. They are some of the world's most misunderstood predators, as they very rarely attack humans unless intimidated.'''"

These are substantially similar. --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 21:36, 16 March 2007 (EDT)

All of it has to be corrected...I think this vandal liked the kangaroo so much he thought he'd imitate! [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 19:17, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

"aerodynamic" should be corrected, unless sharks start taking flight...THanks

:That caught my eye, too. I believe a better word is "streamlined". [[User:Human|Human]] 20:54, 25 March 2007 (EDT)

==I blanked the page==
I'm sure myself and others would correct it later, but all that wrong info just couldn't be allowed to stand. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 20:03, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

:ok...restored and better. People here work rather quickly! [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 20:06, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

::Vandalized again (the mammal thing); reverted to pre-mammalian version again. [[User:Human|Human]] 20:54, 25 March 2007 (EDT)

== Why… ==

Has this article been picked by every creationist as a place to push their viewpoint in a censorious manner? --[[User:TheGoldenRatio|TheGoldenRatio]] 22:37, 3 June 2007 (EDT)

Sharks (suborder Odontoceti) are a large group of predatory cartilaginous fishes, including the largest fish species in the world, the [[Whale shark]]. As well as the familiar fierce sorts of shark, the family also includes various [[dogfish]] and the bottom-living [[wobbegong]].

A shark's most notable characteristics include a prominent dorsal fin, fully replaceable teeth (with the exception of the whale and basking sharks) and a cartilaginous skeleton.

=== Species of shark ===

*[[Whale shark]].
*[[Basking shark]].
*[[Great white shark]].
*[[Mako]].
*[[Porbeagle]].
*[[Tope]].
*[[Whitetip reef shark]].
*[[Oceanic whitetip]].
*[[Blue shark]].
*[[Tiger shark]].
*[[Greenland shark]].
*[[Megamouth shark]].
*[[Nurse shark]].
*[[Hammerhead shark]].
*[[Bull shark]].
*[[Ganges shark]].
*[[Leopard shark]].
*[[Wobbegong]].
*[[Port Jackson shark]].
*[[Cookie-cutter shark]].
*[[Goblin shark]].
*[[Dogfish]].
and many others. 

== Behavior ==

Many species of sharks give birth to a few dozen live young, others lay a similarly small number of eggs; these are often washed ashore and are known as [[mermaid]]'s purses.

Sharks are reputed to be able to detect minute amounts of blood in water, and to be able to follow blood trails for miles. In fact, although sharks can detect blood at concentrations of as little as a few parts per billion, a very considerable quantity must be spilt before it is detectable amongst billions of gallons of seawater. Sharks actually use sounds and vibrations to locate most of their prey.

==Descent==
According to evolution, sharks had evolved into forms that are reasonably easily classified as "sharks" over 450 million years ago. 300 to 150 million years ago, sharks had evolved into two reasonably distinct groups. "Modern" sharks appeared relatively recently, about 100 million years ago. One of the most impressive ancient sharks was the massive megalodon.

According to [[Young Earth Creationism]], sharks likely belong to the [[holobaramin]] that includes skates and rays. This holobaramin was allegedly created on the sixth day of Creation, ''ex nihilo''. Post-diluvian dispersal is not necessary, as sharks are not terrestrial.
