They Jump and Bite
Basking sharks have tiny teeth about 4 millimeters long, but they have plenty of them. 1,200 teeth to be exact! But what makes these creatures even scarier is the fact that they can fully jump right out of the water and take a big chunk out of their prey or drag them down to the bottom of the ocean. Now generally, they prefer to roam the sea on their own but researchers have learned that they can also swim alongside as many as 100 of their fellow basking sharks.
