Shark Week (Day 1)

This week is Shark Week, and to celebrate, I am planning on dropping some shark knowledge on everyone, one day at a time.  If you have any shark questions or shark facts you wish to share, please do so in the comment section below.

SHARK FACT: Sharks mate.  While sharks aren't considered the cutest in the animal kingdom, somehow they still want to bone each other.  Unfortunately, it appears that male sharks want it more than female sharks.  Post-coitus, most girl-sharks are seen with bite marks.  There are sereval hypotheses as to why this happens.  Most scientific experts believe this is so the male doesn't "fall off" during sex.  Personally, I think it's so the sharks feel more like humans.  According to Wikipedia, the bites may symbolize a male shark's affection for a female, much like a young boy kicking sand on a girl.  Or, there is the alternative:

Shark high school can be brutal...

It also makes adult shark entertainment a little awkward...

For those of you who can't load the video, it's basically two sharks having rough sex in an '80s shark porno.

For more shark trivia, please come back tomorrow.
