Sharks circle and observe potential prey, then dart in and bite with their powerful jaws. The bite of a shark has been recorded to be among the top 10 in the world in terms of power. A shark can locate creatures underwater within a thirty-foot radius. This ability works only when the shark is underwater. A shark can notice creatures by scent in a 180-foot radius and detect blood in the water at ranges of up to a mile.MGWS 18
