What kind of shark is the slowest ? The slowest shark in the world is the Greenland shark.It lives in very cold waters near the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic Ocean. In these icy . wa-ters, the Greenland shark swims only about one mile per hour. That is slower than many human(人类) swimmers! The fastest shark, the shortfi n ma ko shark, can swim up to 45 miles per hour.
Why is the Greenland shark so slow? Scientists think that it is because they live in cold water. When fish are in cold water, their bodies slow down. Their bodies become cold and their muscles(肌肉) can't work as well. They can't move as fast as they can in warm water. Human beings (人类) do not experience this because our bodies stay warm even in cold weather.
The Greenland shark is also the one that lives the longest. In fact, Greenland sharks don’t even become full adults until they are about 150 years old! Scientists have learned that they
八年级英语 第5页(共1 0 页)
live about 500 years.
How can Greenland sharks live so long? These sharks eat small amounts(数量) of food for their size. A Greenland shark weighing 500 pounds would need less than 7 ounces(盎司) every day! That is less than half a pound of food. They need small amounts of food because they use up energy very slowly. The way we use up energy from food is called metabolism(新陈代谢),Greenland sharks have an very slow metabolism. Animals with slow metabolism usually live lon-ger.
