Most sharks are ovoviviparous, meaning the eggs hatch inside the female's body, with the babies developing within the mother, but there is no placenta to nourish the pups.
Instead the young feed on the egg's yolk.
The pups eat any unfertilized eggs and sometimes each other.
Very few pups in a litter survive until birth due to this form of sibling cannibalism.
Great white sharks, mako sharks, nurse sharks, tiger sharks, and sand tiger sharks give birth this way.
Some sharks are viviparous, meaning that the females give live birth: the eggs hatch inside the female's body, and the babies are fed by a placenta.
The placenta helps transfer nutrients and oxygen from the mother's bloodstream and transfers waste products from the baby to the mother for elimination.
Examples of viviparous sharks include the bull sharks, the whitetip reef sharks, the lemon sharks, the blue sharks, the silvertip sharks, and the hammerhead sharks.
Although long thought to be oviparous, whale sharks are viviparous, and pregnant females have been found containing hundreds of pups.
New shark discoveries
New sharks are still being found.
Dave Ebert found ten new species in a Taiwan market.
Over the past three decades he has named 24 new species.
They include sharks, rays, sawfish and ghost sharks  these cartilaginous fish are all related.
Some sharks are not endangered, but some are hunted for food (like shark fin soup) or sport fishing.
In 2013 five species of shark, along with two species of manta ray, received international protection as part of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.
It is thought that 100 million sharks are killed by commercial and recreational fishing.<ref>HowStuffWorks "How many sharks are killed recreationally each year - and why?".

Retrieved on<rc-c2d-number> 2010-09-16</rc-c2d-number>.</ref> Sharks are a common seafood in many places, including Japan and Australia.
In the Australian state of Victoria, shark is the most commonly used fish in fish and chips, in which fillets are battered and deep-fried or crumbed and grilled.
In fish and chip shops, shark is called "flake".
In India, small sharks or baby sharks (called sora in Tamil and Telugu languages) are sold in local markets.
Since the flesh is not matured (not adult), cooking the flesh breaks it into powder.
The powder is then fried in oil and spices (called sora puttu/sora poratu).
The soft bones can be easily chewed.
They are considered a delicacy in coastal Tamil Nadu.

Vultures are large birds of prey that usually feed on the carrion or (dead or dying animals and rocks).
Vultures use their large wings to soar in the air for many miles without having to flap.
Vultures are also called buzzards.
Vultures from the Old World (Europe, Asia, and Africa) are not related to the vultures of the New World (North and South America).
They look quite similar, though.
Both have heads and necks with no feathers.
Old World vultures are related to eagles and hawks and use sight to find their food.
New World vultures are related to storks and use their sense of smell to find their food.
Vultures symbolize death in literature.
King vultures use rocks to open eggs, they pick up a rock with their beak and simply drop or throw the rock onto the egg and breaks it.
New World vultures is a name which is used for a number of species in the Americas.
The best known of these are probably the Andean condor and the black vulture.
The Eagle is a large birds of prey which live in and are mostly found in Eurasia and in Africa, but also in many parts of the world.
Eagles hunt during the day and have very good eyesight.
The largest eagle that has ever lived is Haast's eagle.
It is the only eagle in the world ever to have been top predator of its ecosystem.
Though it is now extinct, it lived in New Zealand.
Almost all eagles are carnivores.
This means that they eat meat from other animals, including fish, rabbits, snake
and  squirrels.
Birds that eat meat are also known as birds of prey.
Eagles are birds of prey, and so are vultures and falcons.
Eagles use their strong Talons to catch and grab their food, and they use their sharp beaks to help them tear into their meat.
Even though most eagles are carnivores, the African Vulturine Fish-Eagle mostly eats oil palm fruits.
Birds of Africa
Falcons are small to medium-sized birds of prey and are related to hawks, eagles, and vultures.
They usually have pointed wings and long tails.
Most falcons eat small mammals that they hunt using eyesight, although some species hunt other birds, which they take in flight.
Like hawks, most falcons have dark gray or brown backs and wings, with white undersides.
The peregrine falcon is found over most of the world and is famous for hunting birds by diving down on them at 320 km/h (200 mi/h).
It was nearly wiped out in North America by the use of pesticides, but has since made a recovery.
In some countries falcons are used in falconry.
This means people catch the birds and make them hunt for them.
Long ago this was a way for people to get more food but today it is a sport.
Winter larder
Mogador has the ruins of a fortress, a mosque and a prison.
Today the island is a nature reserve, where Eleonora’s falcons nest among the ruins.
They hunt migrating warblers, hoopoes and other birds.
Researchers came across small birds trapped in deep cavities, their flight and tail feathers removed.
The birds were unable to move their wings or use their dangling legs.
Eleonora’s falcons have been seen building up larders of up to 20 dead birds during migration season, when prey is plentiful.
But "storing snacks that are still alive could be a unique behaviour" said an expert.

The Ainu people are the native population of northern Japan and the eastern part of Russia, mostly in the Amur river region, Sakhalin, the Kuril islands and on the Kamchatka Peninsula.
The term is also used for their culture and language in the Ezo region (Hokkaido).
The majority of their ancestors, the Jōmon people, arrived in Japan about 30,000 – 15,000 years ago from Central Asia and southern Siberia.
They were largely replaced by the proto-Japanese which arrived from southeastern China about 2,000 years ago.
The Ainu have strong similarities with Palaeolithic Europeans and people of the Middle East as well as with Native American groups of the northwestern coastal culture area in North America.
Some scholars think they were related to the Emishi of northern Honshu.
During and after the Yayoi period they were attacked by the early Japanese people.
The Ainu and relative tribes lost most of their land in Honshū, many were killed or ensalved by the Yayoi-Japanese.
After the rise of the Yamato, few Ainu were left in Honshu.
After the Meiji restoration in the late 1800s, the Japanese began to colonize Hokkaido, sending their own people to live there.
They forced the Ainu to leave the warm coast of Hokkaido and try to live in the mountains in the middle of the island.
The Ainu were not allowed to fish for salmon or hunt deer.
The Ainu were required to speak Japanese and use Japanese names.
Japanese scientists and treasure hunters would dig up Ainu graves and steal the bodies and artifacts.
In April 2019, the Ainu became recognized as native population of northern Japan, and the rest of Japan has started to think of their culture as good and valuable.
However, the Ainu still face discrimination in Japan.
Most Japanese outside of Hokkaido mistake the Ainu for foreigners or tourists.
Their culture is based on the ancient Jomon culture of northern Japan and eastern Russia.
Their native folk religion has some similarities to early Shinto.
Their gods are named kamuy, similar to the Japanese Kami.
They practiced agriculture but were also hunter gatherers.
The Ainu are famous for their wood work and art.
The Ainu lived in villages called kotan and were often built along rivers or lakes.
Every villages consisted of at least four to seven families, sometimes more than ten.
The traditional house was called cise or cisey.
They speak the Ainu language.
The Ainu language is classificated as language isolate, although there exist several theories about a genetic relation.
Some linguists suggest a relation to Altaic languages while others suggest a link to Indo-European languages.
Some similarities also exist with northern native American languages.

The Iliad  is the oldest surviving work of Greek literature.
It was an oral epic poem.
People spoke it without reading it.
It was written down in the 8th century BC.
It is an epic (or very long) poem with 24 chapters written in hexameter.
The poem includes early Greek myths and legends.
It may have been based on a Bronze Age attack on the city Troy.
People usually say that Homer wrote the Iliad.
However, scholars are not sure if the poem was really written by just one person.
The story happens during the Trojan War, some time around 1200 BC.
It talks about the confrontations of the warrior Achilles and King Agamemnon.
The story is only about a few weeks at the end of the war, but it also talks about many of the Greek myths about the war.
It tells the story from the wrath of Achilles, to the death and funeral of Hector and the siege of Troy.
Together with another of Homer's poems, the Odyssey, it is one of the two major Greek epic poems.
Some important characters in the Iliad are Achilles, Odysseus, Agamemnon, Menelaus, Priam, Hector, Paris, and Helen.
The poem starts with the god Apollo sending a plague to the Greeks, because they captured the daughter of one of his Trojan priests.
Agamemnon is forced to give the daughter back.
So that he has a girl of his own, Agamemnon takes the captured Trojan girl Briseis from her owner Achilles.
Achilles is angry and refuses to fight in the war.
When Achilles' lover Patroclus is killed by Hector, Achilles starts to fight again and kills Hector in a duel.
Later, Hector's father Priam comes in secret to Achilles to take back his favorite son's body to give it a proper funeral, which Achilles allows him to do.
The poem ends with the funeral of Hector.

According to the WHO, a drug is a substance that can change how a living organism works.
Food is usually not seen as a drug, even though some foods may have such properties.
Most of the time drugs are taken to treat a disease, or other medical condition.
An example for such drugs may be Aspirin or Paracetamol.
These are usually given to treat fever, as well as certain infections.
If such drugs are taken over a longer time, they are usually prescribed by a doctor.
Other drugs are taken for fun, because of the effect they have.
Some of these drugs taken for fun are better accepted by society than others.
Having or taking certain drugs may be illegal, in certain countries.
Drugs may have other effects than those wanted.
Such effects are generally known as side-effects.
Drugs act differently in different amounts.
It is therefore important to take the right amount.
The amount of the drug taken is called a dose.
Aspirin is often prescribed against fever, or as an analgesic.
One of the side-effects of Aspirin is that it makes the blood thinner.
For this reason, it can also be used to prevent strokes, or heart attacks - in a much lower dose than the one used to treat fever, though.
Taking too much of a drug ("too high a dose") can cause sickness or even death.
When a doctor says how much of a drug (the right dose) to take, only that amount should be taken.
It is very important to keep taking the drug until the doctor says to stop because someone can feel better but still be sick.
When a doctor says what drug to take, how much of it, and for how long, it is called a prescription.
Drugs may cause addiction.
Some drugs are illegal because they are very addictive.
These drugs are really expensive, too.
It can also be sold illegally from drug sellers which may cause serious results
Recreational drugs
Recreational drugs can sometimes be bad for someone's health even if they make them feel good.
Alcohol can also be dangerous if the person drinking it drives a vehicle after drinking.
This is called drunk driving.
Many countries make this against the law.
Common recreational drugs include:
Alcohol - In beer, wine and hard liquor
Nicotine - In cigarettes
Caffeine - In Coffee and cacao (See figure)
Cannabis - Smoked like cigarettes, or baked in something to eat, like a cake or brownie
Methamphetamine (also known as Crystal Meth) - Can be smoked, eaten, injected, or inhaled
Cocaine - can be snorted, injected or inhaled (freebasing)
Heroin - can be snorted, injected or smoked in its freebase form.
Certain recreational drugs also have uses as a therapeutic drug.
Heroin can be used as an analgesic (a painkiller) and methamphetamine is used to treat narcolepsy or ADHD.
Recreational drugs can be dangerous, certain countries have made it illegal to have or take them outside a medical context.
Most of the time, this is because they can be addictive or that they are very dangerous when combined with other drugs.
That way, Cannabis-based products are legal in the Netherlands, but illegal in many other countries.
Alcohol and Nicotine are legal almost everywhere, but there are a lot of taxes on the sale of these.
In other words, they are expensive to buy.
Being expensive to buy because of taxes has two benefits; one is that the taxes collected from the sale of the drugs goes into helping to pay for assistance the drug user may experience later.
A smoker, for example, may develop cancer later in life and need treatment at a place that is granted a certain amount of tax money from the government to keep it operating.
Another benefit to the taxing of "legal" drugs, is that the high price may stop people from beginning the habit in the first place, which will help them avoid the negative medical or addictive side effects of the drug.
In some cases, not everyone is allowed to buy these drugs unless they are a minimal age to do so.
The age at which someone is allowed to buy a legal drug is most often decided by the government of a country, state or province, and is usually the age where a person is considered by the law to be an "adult".
Some of the most common ages this happens is at 18, 19 or 21 years of age.
Therapeutic drugs
Therapeutic drugs are also called medicinal drugs, medicine, or medication.
Doctors will give therapeutic drugs to someone who is ill to make you better.
You can buy these drugs at a pharmacy.
Some drugs need a prescription to be bought, other drugs do not.
Drugs that do not require a prescription are called "over the counter" medications.
There are lots of these drugs for different illnesses.
Aspirin - For pain
Paracetamol - For pain
Penicillin - For infections
Prozac - For depression
Diazepam - For anxiety
Antibiotics - For killing bacteria (germs)
William B. Watterson II (born July 5, 1958) is an American artist and cartoonist.
He is most famous for his comic strip, "Calvin and Hobbes" which was published between 1985 and 1995.
He is a very private person and not much is publicly known about him.
He also did not want people to sell things with the pictures of his characters on them, and the only things he allowed to be made using his characters were books with collections of Calvin and Hobbes strips.

for heights of people, especially athletes, in metric nations;
in  maps, centimetres are used to change from map scale to real-world scale of landscapes (kilometres).
centimetre (㎝) - code 339D

Marilyn Manson is a rock band, and also the name of the lead singer of the group.
The name Marilyn Manson was taken from the first name of actress and sex symbol Marilyn Monroe and the last name of cult leader and serial killer Charles Manson.
Some of the earlier band members also created stage names by taking the first name of a female sex symbol and the last name of a serial killer.
Band history
When the band started in 1989 it was originally called Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids.
The band had four bandmembers and a drumming machine.
They played small concerts in their home state Florida (the Warner family had moved from Ohio to Florida when Manson was a teenager).
In 1993 frontman Manson met Trent Reznor, lead singer for Nine Inch Nails.
Reznor liked their style and offered them a record deal and the chance to tour with Nine Inch Nails.
To get the deal, the band had to change its name to just Marilyn Manson.
They also had to find a real drummer.
Their first album was Portrait of an American Family, which was released in 1993.

There were protests at his concerts and they were not allowed to play in some cities.

The Odyssey is a major Ancient Greek epic poem.
It was written by Homer, as a sequel to the Iliad.
In its origin it was an oral epic poem from Mycenaean Greece, about the 11th century BC.
The hero of the poem is Odysseus, or Ulysses as he is called in Latin; the poem is mythological, not historical.
The poem is the story about Odysseus's ten-year-long voyage home to Ithaca after the Trojan War.
The Trojan War is the subject of the Iliad.
At the same time, his wife Penelope has to fight off a lot of men who want to marry her; and his son Telemachos searches for him.
Along the way, Odysseus and his men have to fight monsters and many other dangers.
The main events (places he goes, creatures and people he meets) of Odysseus' journey are:
the Kikones
the Lotus Eaters
the Cyclops Polyphemus
Aeolus, King of the winds
the Laistrygones
the sorceress Circe
the Underworld
the Sirens
the sea monsters Scylla and Charybdis
Helios' cattle
the nymph Calypso
the Phaeacians
On his journey home, Odysseus lands on the island of the Cyclops Polyphemus.
They go inside his cave at the sight of sheep, cheese and milk.
Polyphemus catches them and eats some of Odysseus' men.
Odysseus tricks and blinds him and they escape.
The Cyclops prays to his father Poseidon that Odysseus would not get home to Ithaca and if he was fated to make it home, Odysseus would lose all of his men, his ship and find trouble at home.
This prayer becomes the plot line of the Odyssey.
Odysseus and his ship have to pass the Sirens' island.
The Sirens were always singing very beautifully, so sailors would try to go to them, but their ships would get destroyed, and they would die.
Odysseus tells his men to put wax in their ears, so they will not hear the song of the sirens.
He also tells his men to bind him to the ship's mast, so he cannot go to the sirens when he hears their song.
His men can then look at Odysseus and see when he cannot hear the sirens anymore, because he is calm again.
Then they can take the wax out of their ears, and free Odysseus.
After escaping from the sea, and the death of his men, Odysseus comes to the island Ogygia.
On this island lives the nymph Calypso, and Odysseus stayed with her for seven years.
But then the god Hermes came and told her that the gods said that she had to let Odysseus go.
Calypso promised Odysseus immortality (that he would live forever) if he stayed, but he wanted to go back to his wife Penelope.
So Odysseus built a raft and left her.
The Phaeacians
After a storm, Odysseus comes to the island of the Phaeacians.
There he is found by the king's daughter Nausicaä.
Nausicaä brings him to the palace of her father, King Alkinoos.
During his time there, Odysseus tell the story of his journey.
After this, Alkinoos gives Odysseus a ship and sends him home to Ithaca.
