Sharks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!JAWS!!!!!!!

Hey what's up today I'm going to talk about sharks. They they have a really bad reputation for being mean bad and evil because they bite peoples legs and arms off.. Well they do sometimes but it is very rare you guys should not be worried about anything because sharks only attack when they are violated or they are hungry. The main people who get bit by sharks are surfers because sharks confuse them for seals. They don't even like to eat humans they mite nibble you and swim away but like I said don't worry swim in groups and don't go to far out in the ocean when you swim and you will be fine.. Most people are scared of sharks because of this movie and book.

 This movie and this book made everybody scared of sharks and the people who saw the movie told other people and they got scared. What I'm trying to say is stay away from sharks but don't be scared of them :) 

Ok now I'm going to tell you about sharks. Sharks have gills just like any other fish they have perfect site perfect hearing and a perfect sense of smell. In clear water sharks can see there pray from 100 feet away. They can smell a little bit of blood from miles away.YEA WOW!!!. Sharks skin is covered in some sort of tooth like scales called (dermal denticales).  

Before I get into the shark I'm going to talk about I am going to tell you the three main sharks that you need to stay away from!!!! 1st we have the tiger shark , 2nd we have the Great white shark , 3rd we have the bull shark. The tiger shark has stripes going down his back. The great white shark is big and fat. The bull shark has a blunt snout and usually swims in shallow water. All sharks lay eggs and the reproduce sexually when they lay there eggs they either leave them or eat them.

I'm going to talk about one specific shark and that is the tiger shark and this is what it look's like.




They call him a tiger shark because of the things on him that look like stripes. This particular shark is very aggressive and this is one of the sharks that is dangerous if you mess with it SO JUST DON'T MESS WITH IT OK!!!!!!!!! This shark is common in the Atlantic ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. Tiger sharks are really fast swimmers they are known to travel far places in a short amount of time. The tiger shark is 1500 pounds WOW!! They can go up to 13 feet long they can swim up to 30, 35 miles per hour. They eat other sharks , crabs , turtles and fish. They  hunt at night like most sharks do. This is a really cool fact are you ready they can actually change color from green to blue. 


All sharks have a big perpose on earth and stay away from them but don't be scared of them. Just swim in groups and swim close to the shore and you will be fine!!!!!


I hope you enjoyed my blog!!!!!
