"The world revolves around sharks".

Hi it's me Oscar sorry I was not Blogging we were very busy,but now I'm not busy now so I can give you the info you need to know that you didn't know before.



Did you know:
Sharks hunt by staying far enough away to remain hidden but close enough to Strike?

Sharks have an amazingly wide sightline spanning nearly 360 degrees?

Some female sharks can get pregnant without ever touching a male?

Oh I'm doing this myself!!



That is cool: Only found on the males Pelvic fin is the Clasper.

Well that is all I will see you tomorrow.

The Mako Shark

I just finished watching Man vs. Fish on the Discovery Channel. It was about catching sharks, putting tags on them and then releasing them.

No shark is faster than the Mako, the most amazing sharks. Only a bunch of fish can only outrun it. Two-thirds of its brain is devoted to smell.

The Salmon shark is 10-feet long and weighs 500lbs!

The Tiger shark is 10ft and weighs 850lbs!

On the show, the Hammerhead shark they caught was over 1,000 lbs!!

The nine known species range from 0.9 to 6 m (3.0 to 20 ft) long. The average hammerhead shark weighs about 500 pounds, but some may grow up to 1000. All the species have a projection of their face on all sides of the head that gives it a resemblance to a flattened hammer.

I learned that people shouldn't fear the Mako, they should respect it.
I thought this show was GREAT!
Remember: Sharks aren't scary. They're just different!
