Why do sharks have no bones but if you search “shark skeleton” there’s diagrams? 574 viewsJanuary 3, 2024 Question90.21K April 20, 2021 0 Comments 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 3 Answers ActiveNewestOldest Anonymous Posted April 22, 2021 0 Comments 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.
