Happy shark week!

What's your favorite shark?
Mine? The Thresher shark.



Here's some shark facts for you.

Sometimes when fishermen catch a shark, they will cut off its fins for soup and throw the shark back into the sea—still alive. The mutilated shark is unable to swim or breathe and eventually dies. This also happens mainly in Japan.

The movie Jaws fueled widespread fear and hatred of sharks, and the shark has been intensely hunted since. It is so endangered that many countries have taken steps to protect it. Ironically, the late Peter Benchley, the author of the book, supported shark conservation.

Approximately 100 million sharks are killed every year. Shark teeth are used to make necklaces; cartilage is used to make fertilizers; skin is used to make leather; liver is used to make face cream, sap, and fuel. The mass killing of sharks creates a negative, cascading effect in the global environment.

For every human killed by a shark, humans kill two million sharks.

More people are killed by bee stings and lightning than by shark attacks. Worldwide about 30 people die each year from shark attacks, which means a person has a one in 300 million chance of being killed by a shark. A shark attack most often occurs when a shark mistakes a person for a seal or other animal.

Just some food for thought.
You should watch this video and this one as well while you're at it.
I'm warning you now, it's not for someone with a weak stomach.

Sorry for the babble, it just so happens my favorite animal has a whole week dedicated to them. Spread the shark love!
