How old do sharks get?
Some sharks species live from 20 to 30 years. Some scientist think that the great white shark could be up to 100 years, but it has not been proved. The tiger shark could be between 30 and 40 years. The whale shark can live up to 100-150 years. Scientifically there is no way to determine the life span of sharks. At the final staw? ChaCha's got it all!

About Sharks
Sharks have fascinated and terrified man for thousands of years. Although 'shark attack' is one of the ways media companies get attention, only 10-15 people are killed by sharks each year, while humans kill over 100 million sharks annually. Many shark populations are threatened with extinction.
