  • Shark Skin Secrets: How Dermal Denticles & Mucus Keep Sharks Moist
    Sharks do not recycle toxic ammonia to keep their skin moist. Sharks have a unique skin structure that helps them stay moist without the need for ammonia recycling. Their skin is covered in dermal denticles, which are small, tooth-like scales that help protect them from damage and reduce water loss. Additionally, sharks have a layer of mucus that helps keep their skin moist and protected from the environment.
