Older than dinosaurs — and more threatened than threatening

Sharks are spectacular, surprising, and often misunderstood. Discover the incredible diversity of this ancient and fascinating group of fishes.

Featuring dozens of life-sized models ranging from 33 feet to 5.5 inches long!

Explore an array of 12 casts of jaws and teeth of various shark species, from a great white shark’s serrated teeth for hunting seals to a zebra shark’s small, sharp teeth, specialized to chew through shells.
