George: See those fish there? They're vertebrates, they have a backbone.

Zoe: There are many types of fish in the world, here, you can only see the ones that live in the river.

Kandace: And you may be wondering, why are there no sharks?

Raphael: Do sharks even live in the river?

Zoe: Only some, we are not talking about habitats in this episode. Anyways, sharks are also vertebrates, unlike other fish which are bony, their bones are made of cartilage. A flexible kind of bone, you can find it on the outer lobe of your ear.

Zoe touched George's ears.
