How do sharks capture their prey?
The shark’s eyes, ears, and nose are all situated near its mouth. But sharks also detect their prey with sensory receptors that run along their sides. These receptors make up the “lateral line,” an organ similar in function to the ear that can feel pulses or vibrations in the water.
What helps Sharks hunt?
This highly tuned sense is thanks to countless small pores located throughout the sharks skin, mostly concentrated around the snout, and called the ampullae of Lorenzini. These gel filled pores help amplify these weak electrical signals allowing sharks to detect prey even if it’s completely hidden, such as in the sand.
How do sharks detect food?
Sharks use sound to locate food. Sound is often the first sense a shark relies on to detect prey. Under water, sound travels farther and approximately 4.5 times faster than on land. Sharks are attracted to low-frequency pulsed sounds, similar to those wounded or ill prey would emit.

But once they become butterflies, they only have a long, curled proboscis, which is like a soft drinking straw—their jaws are gone.

Why do butterflies eat poop?
That’s right; don’t get between a butterfly and a freshly dropped pile of dung. It drives them wild. They uncoil their probosces and slurp away, lapping up the salts and amino acids they can’t get from plants. It’s called mud-puddling, and it’s very common butterfly behavior
