Shark Day: Beyond Jaws!
The Connecticut State Museum of Natural History is celebrating Shark Week with our very own exploration of sharks and rays, members of the group of cartilaginous fish known as elasmobranchs!
Join the CSMNH for a deep dive exploration of sharks and rays:
Discover the wild variety of sharks and their relatives, including species that are new to science.
Learn about the world’s biggest and smallest sharks, and some of the world’s weirdest sharks. Original photographs of rarely seen sharks and rays from some of the most remote places on the planet will be on display.
A highlight of the afternoon will be an exhibition of real shark and ray jaws. There will be opportunities to touch real shark skin, compare large and small jaws, and learn how sharks hunt for prey using special grasping, crushing, and tearing teeth.
Be a shark detective to uncover little known animal facts and win a fossil shark tooth.
