Why do sharks have no bones but if you search shark skeleton there’s diagrams? And wouldn’t shark teeth be considered bones?
In: Biology
Sharks have a cartilage skeleton, so there’s still a structure but it’s not made of bones. Their teeth are scales I think.
Sharks have skeletons made of cartelage, so not bones. And teeth aren’t made of bone either.
You can have a skeleton without having “bone”. Insects have skeletons of chitin. Shellfish have skeletons made of calcium carbonate.
Sharks use cartilage, reinforced with calcium, but still not bone.
