Natural Sciences 191CNS46 - FYS- Shark Myths

What do you think of when you hear the word "shark"? Do you conjure an image of a mindless, grey fish with rows upon rows of teeth waiting to swallow you whole? Then this class is for you. Come learn about the wide diversity of sharks and their relatives, from the tiny pocket shark, who sports fashionable, glowing pockets, to the smalltooth sawfish, who has a chainsaw for a nose! We will discuss shark behavior, diet, and life history, as well as their importance in healthy ocean ecosystems. Together we'll use science to turn shark fictions into shark facts!

Open to Natural Sciences Freshman with a declared major or on the Natural Sciences Exploratory Track.
