95 96 97 98 SHARKS!!!

Old school Biologists (pre-DNA sequencing) would look at the physical characteristics of organisms and use that to determine how closely related they were.  So we'll practice that as it's still a good rule of thumb when out in the field.

(Look!!! teeth, stripes, fast, tail, must be a TIGER!!!   RUN!!!!)

We call these things DICHOTOMOUS KEYS, and you'll use one for sharks, and make your own for fish.
