The sharks hang back and observe from a not-too-close, not-too-far base, hunt strategically, and learn from previous attempts, according to a study being published online Monday in the Journal of Zoology.

Although we don’t see ears of fishes, they do have ear parts inside their heads. According to the National Wildlife Federation, fishes can pick up sounds in the water through their bodies and in the ear.
They also can sense movement in the water with the lateral lines. Interestingly, sharks have the ability to sense electricity, and genes that contribute to this sense is responsible for the head and facial features in humans. Therefore sharks and humans come down to a common ancestor back in time. Our ears evolved from fish gills.
