Answer 1:
Fun question! I think they could. Sharks
don’t really chew their food. They need to
bite big things so that they can tear off a piece
that’s small enough to swallow. If something were
really small, they could just close their jaws
around it and swallow it without it touching their
teeth. At about 28 seconds into this video, I
think you can see one doing that: video of sharks
There are many kinds of sharks. Some sharks don’t
really have teeth they can bite with. The basking
sharks and whale sharks take in plankton without
biting it. This video is made for kids younger
than you, but it has some cool videos of different
types of sharks:
