Using gills because sharks are fishes and if look closely on animal planet-sharks you will see that there are like cuts on the left or right of their head,well that is gills and sharks uses it to breathe it takes in oxygen and gives out carbon dioxide
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sharks "breathe" by using their gills. Water passes through the mouth and out the gill slits. Oxygen is exchanged through the tissues lining the gills.
Unlike other fish SOME SPECIES of shark cannot pump water through their gills by opening and closing their mouths, they have to keep moving to make the water flow. In this way they are like ram jets. For a shark it is "Swim or die!"
However, OTHER SPECIES of sharks can pump water over their gills when at rest and do not need to keep swimming. These species can be seen sleeping on the seabed around tropical reefs.
