Last year, I did a week-long tribute to sharks in celebration of Shark Week. Day 1 can be found
here. This year, I am going to try to do the same thing, because I hate being unpredictable. There may be less shark porn this year, but no promises.
SHARK FACT:
The smallest shark is the dwarf lanternshark. Averaging at around 7 inches, the dwarf lanternshark is the pipsqueak of the shark community. Yes, 7
inches. Let's quickly list off other things that are larger than a dwarf lanternshark:
- Beanie Babies
- Large novelty pencils
- Mini Me
- 7.1" rulers
- A shit I found in the men's room last week
Dwarf lanternsharks are so small that any picture you see of them requires a disclaimer: "Enlarged to show texture." It's possible you've eaten a dwarf lanternshark, mistaking it for a sardine on your pizza. Also, if you know of any restaurant that serves shark on its pizzas, feel free to leave the address in the comment section below.
You may be relieved to know that dwarf lanternsharks do not pose any real threat to humans, except for occasionally getting in a person's eye who believes it's a speck of dust.
