Lateral lines run down each side of the sharks body

Small pores in the sharks snout called ampullae of lorenzini

SPECIAL ADAPTATIONS Hammerhead's wide head seperates the nasal organs, giving him a much wider field of vision and a greater times delay between nostrils when smelling potential prey

Bull sharks can live in both fresh and salt water.

Great white sharks have large and powerful bodies and a specifically designed tail that provides for enormous bursts of energy for striking with such tremendous strength that the first bite is frequently a death blow

GREAT WHITE VS BULL SHARK BITE FORCE

BITE FORCE
An 8 foot great white shark has a bite of around 360 pounds.

A 9 foot long bull shark has a bite force of around 478 pounds

An 18 foot great white has a greater bite force just because of the size difference.
