Squid and Shark Dissections!

Shark Dissection

While a dogfish shark won’t be getting any ominous music scored to it as it stalks through the water, this tiny shark is still an expert predator. We will explore the texture of shark skin, digestive, circulatory, and reproductive systems, and the mechanism in which they are able to float in the water column.
