Is it true that sharks have bones?
No. A natural history museum reference states that sharks have no bones at all, their skeletons being made of cartilage, and a children's reference book marks 'All sharks have bones' as FALSE. One flawed curriculum worksheet asserts sharks have bones, but the authoritative sources contradict the claim.
