Shark Arching Upward With Wide Open Mouth and Gill Slits

Coloring guide
A single shark curves through the water with its snout tilted up and its mouth open in a wide curved line. One round eye sits near the top of the head, and three short gill slits are drawn just behind it. The big triangular dorsal fin is not on its back here but rises tall on the right side near the tail, while a smaller second fin sits closer to the body. You can also see a long pointed side fin, a pectoral fin stretching to the left, and a forked tail at the right. The lines are bold and clean with large open spaces, so it works well for kids who like crayons or thick markers. Try shading the back darker gray-blue and leaving the belly lighter, then talk about why many sharks have two-tone coloring. It is a free printable that suits both quick activities and longer ocean units.
