I've seen lots of small sharks in aquariums but all they do is swim in endless circles.

That is probably why this book was written. I know that once a year, the Discovery channel host Shark Week, with many different shows about sharks, 24 hours a day during that entire week. All in all though, it does sound like an interesting book, though it would be nice if it were a Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-25151437071037349142010-07-26T21:12:49.586-04:002010-07-26T21:12:49.586-04:00I visited an aquarium one time and I actually saw ...I visited an aquarium one time and I actually saw the teeth of the shark swing out in anticipation of a passing fish! Odd especially since sharks are well fed in those places and they have no interest in the fish swimming around them -- their hunt instinct is so desensitized since they get fish sloshed to them during every feeding time of the day. A mighty interesting sight to see their teeth Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-35665467460431638012010-07-26T18:39:13.906-04:002010-07-26T18:39:13.906-04:00Book sounds sort of fun, but like you I think I...Book sounds sort of fun, but like you I think I'd prefer a little more depth. Not that I should have a problem--I just spent the past week reorganizing our "library." Made many interesting discoveries--like the fact that we've got about 15 books on sharks. Seriously, who needs that many books on sharks?!!

I'd just never heard of it, and having a tabloid quoted to tell me of it wasn't convincing. (Then again, I didn't visit beaches that year, being in college, so maybe that's why, I was just too insulated in academics).<br /><br />Jenny- that sounds horrifying!
