\nThe ocean is such a vast space that it\u2019s often hard to imagine how many fascinating creatures are living in the waters (and how many more have through history). We\u2019re giving you the chance to explore a range of shark paraphernalia at our touch table stations.<\/p>\n
Take a Peek at the Ocean\u2019s Biggest Predator<\/strong><\/h2>\nFor those feeling especially brave, why not pick up a tooth from the menacing Megalodon? Believed to have roamed the oceans 2.6 million years ago, Megalodon holds the title for the largest shark species to ever live and<\/em>\u00a0is one of the largest predators recorded in history \u2013 measuring approximately 52 feet, the shark was a whopping 3 times longer than the longest Great White shark!
\nThe shark\u2019s teeth are so big that they have often been mistaken for rocks or mythologically as dragon and giant serpent tongues. Come and see these fascinating snippets of history from one of the most foreboding creatures for yourself!<\/p>\nUnderstand the Anatomy of a Shark<\/strong><\/h2>\nSharks come all in all shapes and sizes but one thing all shark species are known for is their vast mouthful of teeth. Some sharks can actually shed up to 35,000 teeth in a lifetime! Compared to us humans, who only ever have about 52 teeth in a lifetime. Sharks are also known to have more than just one top layer and one bottom layer of teeth. Some species actually have as many as 15 rows of teeth. As such, we\u2019re sure sharks have a pretty big grin!
\nAs well as Megalodon teeth, we\u2019ll have selection of shark jaws and shark skin for you to touch \u2013 prepare to be wowed by the sheer scale of shark jaws and surprised by the rough feel of shark\u2019s skin. And, if you want to see the true power of a shark\u2019s impressive munch, check out our shark-bitten surf board.
\nContrary to popular belief though, sharks aren\u2019t always the ferocious creatures they may appear to be. Sharks often break the water\u2019s surface at the sight of a surfboard because they mistake it for that of a tasty treat \u2013 a seal, a walrus, or a sea lion \u2013 rather than to attack a human.<\/p>\n![\"Sharks](\"https:\/\/neuronicdev.es\/deep-sea-world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_6867.jpg\")
