I'm sure people have figured out I have a thing for sharks. Especially Great Whites. And it's SHARK WEEK!!!! So in honor of SHARK WEEK here are some interesting facts:
SHARK WEEK first aired on July 27, 1987
A Great White Shark was once kept in an aquarium for a few days, but it became disoriented, continually hitting its nose against the glass, so it had to be released into the sea.
Great White Sharks breed late in life. They do not start breeding until they’re at least twenty years old.
More than 70 percent of known victims of Great White Shark Attacks survive because the shark realizes it has made a mistake and doesn’t finish off the prey.
Great White Shark meat is not recommended for human consumption because it has very high mercury levels.
No one has ever witnessed Great White Sharks mate.
The Great White Shark is the only apex predator to never be tamed or kept too long in captivity. There is lots of mystery surrounding the great white since it is difficult to study them in their natural habitat. I think being a single mom is a great mystery that many have no idea about. Not until you become one yourself! A Great White isn't a mystery to herself, just to the rest of the world! So come swim in my habitat, if you dare...
