How can I learn more to ace the shark quizzes?

Every month, Shark Angels features a shark species in focus so that you can build your shark knowledge. We work with our team of interns – all of whom are soon to be shark scientists – to create three educational pieces. From hammerheads to tigers and lanterns to great whites, we examine the well-known, the weird, and the coolest sharks. For each shark, you’ll find a detailed overview (Monthly Chomp), a research study, and also a shark trivia quiz (After Bites) like this Megalodon trivia quiz.

As a shark charity, part of our missive is to educate the public. Each month we focus on a new shark species (or in this case – a species that eats sharks!), with an overview, cool facts that you didn’t know, where to see them in their own habitat, and an easily understandable summary of current research on the species. Plus, you’ll get ways to take action for shark conservation and help this species thrive! Check out the shark species full list here.

Science = better shark smarts

Then if you want to learn more about what these shark (and killer whale) scientists discovered while out in the field, visit the Shark Science section to read the full articles. Some of the issues are plastics, migration patterns, breaching, weather and climate change or just weird and cool characteristics of sharks. Then you’ll ace the shark trivia quiz.
