Sharks DO have nostrils! They are connected to their extremely sensitive sense of smell. In fact, most sharks can discern whether a scent is coming in their right nostril or their left and use that to help them hunt. Sharks don’t use their nostrils to breathe, like humans and other mammals do.

Here’s a question, why does he have what appear to be nostrils? what purpose would they serve if you have gills?
