Animal Facts Wednesday


Yes here I am again for another installment.

This is a pretty epic photo of a lemon shark. In all my research I'm still pretty creeped out by sharks. And this photo is why. And even their profile they're all grimacy and grr looking with their teeth all razer sharp and protruding out of their mouth and what not...

But sharks, yes, attacks are uncommon blah blah. And yet still everytime I go in the water I'm all shit. I hope a shark doesn't grab me and take me down. It's life affirming I guess.

Anyway I've had to do re-research sharks and I thought I'd let you know a little about them,

: lemon sharks are thee best studied sharks in the world, and yet totally not as popularly heard about. bogus. some guy has some research station in florida and it's now being decimated bcs the fuckers are putting a golf course in and destroying mangroves, where the lemon shark protect their young... whatevs.

: lemon sharks also are good at detecting prey hidden in the sand, like fish, stingrays, crustaceans.... bcs they're all good at picking up eletro-magnetic impulses... eh whatever, sharks are cool. i gotta go watch funny or die now.

Grimacy? That looks like the most happy-go-lucky shark I've ever seen.
