Shark Week On Discovery Channel

Shark Week On Discovery Channel

(These photos come from National Geographic)

Okay don't ask me why but this week I have been drawn to the television to watch a weeks worth of Top Ten deadliest Sharks, Great White Attacks, Top five eaten alive, and so forth on the Discovery Channel.

I like many feel that sharks are given a bad rep, but hey folks they do kill.

I have learned though that most times sharks attack, is because we have entered into their territory looking like either seals or looking like a predator. They really are these amazing sea creatures that are unique in their design. They react mostly to electrical impulses that are felt up to many miles away or vibrations from things in the water -( ie) swimmers splashing around or other sea creatures swimming.

It has been very educational watching this although I have a horrible fear of being eaten alive by a great white or crocodile. I have developed a new respect for this creature which is hunted down and killed almost in some species to extinction.

If we are going to play in their world, we are going to have to be educated in knowing when is the worst time to swim in their waters. Mostly it's early in the morning, and at night and too in murky water so being educated can in some instances save your life.

If you can or care to give this a look. It's on all week on the Discovery Channel.
