When Sharks are brought up or mentioned, many of us mainly picture the larger species, like the tiger and great white sharks, though what most know of them is actually a very small slice of their true diversity, with many exhibiting very distinct body plans, dietary preferences and habitats to what we usually think of them having.

So, to start off this year's shark week, it seems apt therefore to go over just how wideranging and diverse they are before delving into more specific species, many of which that will later be covered are also extinct. I hope you enjoy this years Shark Week!
