--Scientists can determine the age of a shark by counting the rings that form on its vertebra, much as you can count the rings on a tree to tell its age.
--Sharks’ wounds heal quickly and they rarely get tumors. (This is why many scientists are studying shark physiology closely as a possible source of cancer cures.)
--Pigs kill more people every year than sharks do.
---Sharks are apex predators of the world's oceans--meaning they act as the stabilizing force against massive population explosions of animals further down the food chain.

That random panel is just fantastic. What a great artist Jim Aparo was. The shark facts are nice to know too.
