Shark week

You heard it this week is Shark Week on the discovery channel. If you haven't seen it you can buy on DVD for only $6.95 plus shipping and handling. At http://www.sharkweekdvd.com/ and buy it. I think I might. If you don't know what channel it is try channel 36. Make sure to check out before Saturday. Saturday is the last day of Shark Week. Oh did I mention that they have some people who you can't even imagine would do stuff like this? Some of the people on there dive with great whites and tigers. Oh how about coral reef sharks they are very dangerous. I remember watching one of the episodes they had on there and a coral reef shark tried to bite off the camera man's arm. It was pretty scary. I mean not for me but can you think about what the camera man was feeling.

The first shark I am going to talk about is the Japanese Goblin Shark. It has been said that they do not bite. How would they eat though? Sure they could eat small fish, but what about humans. Most people believe that they do not want to bite humans, but hasn't every shark mistaken a fish by a human and bite them. I think every shark has. Everyone can think of one shark that has bitten a human. Just a type of shark. I can name 10. In the order of danger. 10. Lemon 9.blue 8. white tip 7. hammer head 4.mako 3.tiger 2. great white 1. bull. I forgot those three in the middle I heard them off of Shark week.

This is the hammer head shark. Now it mostly likes to eat sting rays. It gets mixed up with humans sometimes though. It's not there fault though. I forgot why though. Think about it we kill sharks. Sharks kill us. Now let's think for a moment. We kill sharks because we trespass there homes and kill them for publicity. You know why sharks kill us? They occasionally kill us because either we pollute there waters and they can't find food or they mistaken us for food. Sure if the same sharks kills humans over and over again then sure kill it, but if it attacks once don't kill it's entire species. Honestly the nerve of some people!

This shark, don't even try to kill it. This shark is the poisonous horned shark. It won't eat humans but one touch on it's horns and without medical help immediatly you will die. Just like that. These sharks eat small fish. So they aren't like tiger sharks who eat large fish and mistake humans as food. Oh no. These sharks can kill you without even biting you. I'm not quite sure where these sharks lurk but I can tell you to watch out for them. In fact they are kind of small so lifeguards can't even tell if they are there. They can't warn people about them.

This shark is the whale shark and this is the shark people actually want to swim with. You know why? Well it's because they are so gentle. They don't feed off humans of large fish. Well I guess for large fish. But not humans. These sharks are the biggest of them all. Hints the name WHALE shark. I really would like to swim with these sharks. Unfortunatly I've never had the time to go on vacation to place to swim with these beautiful, harmless, and delicate creatures. I really do love them. I hope one day though I will get to.

This is the sand shark. Yes a sand shark. Personally I worry about these sharks all the time when I go to the beach. Considering they live in the sand. The most dangerous live in the bottom of the coral reef or the ocean on some dunes. All I know is that these sharks don't like to be messed with. So take my tip and always look down befor entering the ocean. It's pretty much my way of know it is safe in the ocean.

This is the tiger shark. People pretty much like to call him the ocean trash can. Anything he find he will chew on. Even humans. Usually he gives his prey a firm bite. If he likes it he will eat it. If not bye bye prey is what he says and leaves. They've eaten license plates and shoes and sometimes fishing poles. Yeah they will eat anything. Like my dad. Except he doesn't eat metal or leather. And above all he deffinatly doesn't canibalize. And that's a fact I have to face. LUCKILY!!! These sharks love to eat sea turtles so if you are on a surf board or boogy board or any floatation device they mistake you for a sea turtle and well bite you. And then they realize your a human.

The mako sharks are really just miniature great whites. Literally. They are agressive and have a very firm bite. Let's just say you don't want to mess with this guy. He rows and rows and rows of many razor sharp teeth. You kind find these in the middle of the ocean of any ocean pretty much. These can attack humans but they try not too just like the great white shark. Pretty much if we follow direction on safety of sharks and don't pollute the water. We are safe and not as much as risk as the shark's prey. So please follow directions and never bother a shark unless you are aloud which is pretty much. So just don't do it.

This is a lemon shark and if you don't bother it, it won't bother you. Well that's rule about most sharks. These sharks really don't have much of a history of eating people. Sure like most sharks they do mistaken humans from fish or whatever their prey might be. Don't believe what the movies say about sharks. The are pretty much saying they are like eating machines you just want to eat people over and over again on purpouse. Wrong!! They don't. There just like us trying to eat.

This is the oceanic white tipped shark. Now these are pretty agressive and yes they will kill you most likely. My sister Erin said that if you are caught dead with one of these your good as dead. No way what so ever are you going to live by one of these unless you are on shore away from them or you are magically right next to a boat's ladder. So most likely you will die from these. So sorry people out there that are reading this. If I am frightening you. I'm just trying to keep you safe.

The last shark I am going to talk about is the frightening shark of all. You've seen him in the movies. The Great White. These infact could be harmless. You see these sharks only see color and eat seals and dolphins. They don't see very well either so if you splash around they mistake you as a seal. Lot's of loud noises can cause it to think of seals too. Like most sharks this one mistakes you as a thing of prey that it would normally eat instead of something it would actually not want to be eating.

This is the Great White Shark. This is when it is about to eat something. Yeah it's pretty scary. And from those jaws of life they could eat you whole. You know if they didn't eat you whole well let's just say you'd bleed to death from those rows and rows and rows of those razor like teeth.

I can't belive I forgot the bull shark. Well this one is the most agressive and well let's just say it has killed people and lurks occasionally in fresh water. If it does lay in the fresh water have no fear. All it is there for is to have it's babies. That way no one can harm them. They won't even attack you. It is sweet. Well anyway this is the shark that has the most attacks. I'll have you know that in texas bull sharks actually rise up on the shores of the gulf and of course suffocate. These sharks are once again fooled by humans. Shiny things like sparkly nail polish or bracelets. Mistake them as fish. So you get hurt. I hope this teaches you about sharks and the safety reason. Thank you for listening and goodbye.
