Shark Trivia

Did You Know that Sharks are divided….

.….into 8 orders? Every non-extinct shark belongs to the classification Chondrichthyes, which is defined as cartilaginous fish. Within the Chondrichthyes classification, there are currently 8 different orders of sharks that include:

  1. Carcharhiniformes (anal fin, 5 gills, 2 dorsal fins, no fin spines, mouth behind the eyes, nictitating eyelids) - Ground Sharks and Whaler Sharks.

  2. Heterodontiformes (anal fin, 5 gills, 2 dorsal fins, dorsal fin spines) - Bullsharks or Horn Sharks.

  3. Hexanchiformes (anal fin, 6-7 gills, 1 dorsal fin) - Sixgilled Sharks or Cow Sharks.

  4. Lamniformes (anal fin, 5 gills, 2 dorsal fins, no fin spines, mouth behind the eyes, no nictitating eyelids) - Mackerel Sharks.

  5. Pristiophoriformes (long snout, mouth underneath, no anal fin) - Sawsharks or Carpenter Sharks.

  6. Orectolobiformes (anal fin, 5 gills, 2 dorsal fins, no fin spines, mouth in front of the eyes) - Carpet Sharks or Wobbegongs.

  7. Squaliformes (short snout, mouth underneath, no anal fin) - Dogfish Sharks.

  8. Squatiniformes (flat body, mouth at front, no anal fin) - Angelsharks.

There were 4 other orders (Cladoselachiformes, Hybodontiformes, Symmoriida, and Xenacanthida), but they are now extinct.
