SHAAAAAAAAARK WEEEEEEEK!!!!


this week is SHARK WEEK on the dicsovery channel, so my font is blue and i am writing a report about sharks because i think this blog should celebrate shark week as well. we should try to get the truth out about sharks and not perpetuate fears about them.

SHARKS: The Deadly Jaws of the Sea by Daniel E. Oliver

have you ever seen a shark? maybe you have and it scared you. sharks may be cooler than dirtbikes, but did you know sharks are not actually members of the reptile kingdom, but are in fact animals? its true. sharks are constantly referred to as the alligators of the ocean, but that simply is a false statement.

sharks are blue and gray. they are the largest members of the tuna family. sharks eat chum, plankton, animals, blood and of course kelp. sharks have brains mainly tuned in to smelling for a fight. they can smell an electrical field around their food which is why they attack electric eels and various things so often. most sharks grow up to 180 feet in length and have 5 rows of teeth that grow back whenever one is pulled out. sharks teeth are often found and put on necklaces by surfers.

baby sharks are called pups, but you may not want to play nippers with them like a puppy because they eat meat as well. sharks have up to 100 babies at a time and some are from eggs. when baby sharks, or pups, are born they can swim immediately.

in conclusion, sharks are dangerous and beautiful reptiles of the sea. these alligators are not intending to fight humans, they are just protecting their babies, or pups, so remember they are just as scared of you as you are of them, and they dont have any venom.

Finely written report Evan. I think that this truly shows just how seriously we Secret Fingers take such serious matters in the most serious way possible.
