You want to explode out of the water and try to grab one? Hey, I've got three cracked molars and a smashed bicuspid.. I'm done exploding out of the water and trying to grab one. You wanna take a break from shark watch and play, Jonas? No I'm good.
Sharks are constantly growing new teeth. They come in from the back of the mouth, and as teeth are lost, the new ones move forward. A shark may grow more than 30,000 in a lifetime. I know, it’s only a cartoon, but just as the suspension of disbelief is required for science fiction, so too for cartoons, but I just can’t totally suspend disbelief for this one. Next thing you’ll be asking me to believe that a person could really fly or that a person could acquire the relative strength and talents of a spider and swing from building to building on a web. ;-)
