Description: Fierce predators of the sea, sharks have multiple methods of hunting their prey. First, they hear their prey from up to several miles away. Second, they detect their prey using scent, detecting blood in the water up to a quarter mile away. As they approach, they use their eyes which are particularly well adapted to the marine environment. As they come in closer, they close their eyes, using their ability to detect vibrations in the water. They supplement this using electroreception to detect the electro-magnetic field that all creatures emit. Using this ability they can detect a creature, even if it is hidden under a thin layer of sand. Coloration varies but is typically grey with white pattered markings
