If a shark stops swimming it dies?!!?!

Okay so these are the lyrics to a song I heard (forgot the name) And in the song they were being repeated over and over… So it got me thinking what happens if a shark stops swimming does it really die? Lol please not I cannot be arsed to google this stuff xD

Answer #1

Some shark species - not all - will die if they stop moving, but ‘swimming’ and ‘moving’, are two different things. They do rest…they just don’t stay completely still.

Most sharks rest in currents so that water can still flow through the gills.
