Notes
General Note
"Featured on the Spinescape of the 2023 edition of The World Book Encyclopedia is a magnificent lemon shark. The photograph, taken by award-winning photogapher and conservationist Tanya Griffin Houppermans, reflects the tranquil majesty of an animal that is, unfortunately, more feared than revered. Lemon sharks are powerful predators, but they hunt bony fish and other small sea creatures - not people. Other sharks prefer to eat seals, shellfish, octopuses, worms, plankton, or even sea grass, Fewert than 80 shark bites a year are reported throughout the world. The Shark article in The World Book Encylopedia has been fully revised to reflect current scientific perspectiives from the fields of marine biology and shark conservation. The article highlights the amazing diversity of shark species and the unique adaptations that distingish sharks from other kinds of fishes. The article also covers the most up-to-date expert advice for staying safe around sharks."-- Page i.
