ABSRACTThis research report is a brief explanation of how one of nature's largest predators, the shark, and how sharks hunt and stalk their prey. The process of shark hunting will be explained in sequential order, starting with how sharks detect their prey, moving on to how sharks stalk their prey, and what happens when sharks capture their prey. A brief explanation will also be discussed on how two particular species of sharks, the hammerhead sharks and the longnose saw sharks, about their body shape, their diet, and how their unique attribute and how they use this attribute to help these two races in their hunting game. Finally, for anyone who is curious, the number one peak hunter of all time will be revealed in the conclusion of this research report. Have you ever thought about how incredible and spectacular hunting can be? The vast selection of weapons and tools that each organism uses to catch and force its prey into submission. Not forgetting nature's big game hunters like the king of the jungle, the lion. The almost incomparable speed of the cheetah. Even we, the human race, are big game hunters with our camouflage outfits to blend our bodies into the environment, our silenced rifles to eliminate our prey noiselessly, and many other tools we use to hunt. Here's something even better, and if you could hunt using electroreception. What if we could sail faster than a cheetah? Even a keen sense of smell could give us an advantage when hunting. There is one animal that I can think of that has all three of these characteristics plus a few more additional characteristics and that is the big game, the apex predator that I am going to talk about. Hosted in the vast ocean, it is the... middle of paper ...... reserved for sharks, lions or any other apex predator. However, I understand that over time, this species has evolved a lot physically and mentally. The most important advantage of this predator is technology. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'll tell you. The number one predator is actually the human race. Does this fact take away a “bite” from you?
