Exciting extract!

So, do sharks sneeze…?! Let’s find out together, with an extract from this brilliant book…

Legend has it that sharks can smell a single drop of blood in the ocean, but that’s an exaggeration. Sharks can detect 1 part per million, which is like us being able to smell something from up to 5km away!
A shark can also push its stomach out of its mouth to expel things it has eaten that it doesn’t like – such as tyres, licence plates or fish hooks. This clever trick is called gastric eversion. It might look like a sneeze, but it is the shark’s way of removing unwanted objects from its mouth or stomach.
So while sharks can’t sneeze like we do, they do have a very fine sense of smell and can turn their stomachs inside out when they need to!
