Do sharks have bacteria that help them digest food

1 Answer

They have huge stomachs with very powerful digestive enzymes. They eat their prey in large chunks. Because great white sharks swim almost constantly, they need to digest quickly. Their stomachs turn prey into liquid very rapidly. Their intestine has digestive enzymes that further break down food. As a result they can almost completely digest the seals and other mammals they feed on. so more than likely yes
