They can weigh up to 4000lbs.

Whale sharks are the largest of all fish and can grow up to 12 m long and weigh up to 12,000 kg. The smallest sharks are the tiny pygmy sharks which are fully grown at 25 cm long.

Shark food

Sharks are efficient predators. They have a highly developed sense of smell, hearing and sight. They can scent their prey in the water from a great distance. Their sensitive eyes can see clearly even in the dim light of the ocean depths.

Sharks are carnivorous and eat fish, including other sharks. Large species may eat seals, turtles and penguins. Some sharks, like the whale shark and the basking shark feed on plankton. Blue sharks swim in leisurely circles when they are hungry and become increasingly excited when they sense food.

Baby sharks

Most fish lay eggs in the water which are then fertilized by the male. But shark eggs are fertilized inside the females body. In most species, the eggs hatch inside the female and the babies (called pups) are born alive. Some kinds of sharks, like the cat shark do lay eggs, ejecting them in flattened cases known as Mermaid's Purses.

Some sharks that give birth to live babies have as few as 2-3 pups at one time. Others have around 12 and some as many as 70-80. A new born shark is able to swim as soon as it is born and is immediately left to fend for itself by the mother.

Because sharks cannot breed fast like other fish, it means that their numbers can be easily be reduced by too much fishing. This is why scientists believe that shark fishing should be regulated.

The growing trade in shark fins - often used to make an expensive Asian soup - has become a serious threat to many shark species.
It depends on the species. Some huge species like the Great whites weigh as much as 4000 pounds.
the average of a sharks weight is 1500
The weight of sharks varies with the species, size, and eating habits. For example, the smallest type of shark, Squaliolus laticaudus or spined pygmy shark (approximately 10 inches long), weighs only a pound or so. Whereas the enormous Rhincodon typus or whale shark can weigh a whopping 35.8 tonnes (78,887 lb)!

A shark's teeth cannot be counted because they are constantly growing in to replace any lost during feeding. Sharks usually have 2-3 rows of teeth at any one time, containing 20-30 teeth.
