Learn while you colour
Sharks are fish
Sharks are fish, not mammals. They breathe using gills, which are the slits you can see behind a shark's head, and they live their whole lives in water.
Fins do different jobs
The tall fin on a shark's back is the dorsal fin, the wide side fins are the pectoral fins, and the tail fin pushes the shark forward through the water.
Frequently asked questions

- They are drawn for roughly ages 3 to 5. The shapes are large and the outlines are thick, so they suit children who are still learning to colour inside the lines.
- Are the sharks scary?
- No. These sheets show calm, friendly sharks swimming in simple ocean scenes, with no hunting or frightening imagery.
