Last week was Shark week. 35 year of Shark week on Discovery. I found out about it Tuesday and then later when I was thinking about what show to watch with Rachel this was one of my choices. I gave her my top 2. The Barbie show or this and she picked Barbie, so I watched Most Extreme Sharks with my mom. We watched a couple of episodes on Wednesday. Honestly, I didn't like that we would only watch 2 episodes when with past shows we did 4 but that's ok because after I was done with those two episodes, I went back to the living room and watched an episode of Most Extreme Sharks. There were 4 episodes, so it was perfect watching one Wednesday, watching the 2nd one Thursday, 3rd one Friday, and the last one Saturday. It really worked out. Of course, if I knew this week was Shark week soon, I would have watched more things about Sharks on Disney+.

The first episode was on the Atlantic and it was fascinating to see my favorite shark. The Hammerhead.

I love their head shape. They are found worldwide. Not just in the Atlantic. They would congregate in schools during the day and become solitary hunters at night.

The second episode was on the Indian and one of the sharks they talked about was the Tiger shark.

This is a cool shark because they have stripes like a Tiger. They only have one predator. The orca otherwise known as the Killer whale.

The third episode was on The Pacific. They talked about the white tip reef shark.

They are a small shark. They are found in Indi-Pacific coral reefs. They are as far west as South Africa and as far east as Central America. They are vulnerable to overfishing and because of climate change their coral reefs are dying. This is why we need to do whatever it takes to save these sharks.

The last episode was on North Atlantic and they focus more on the ocean around Scotland. This is where you can find The Great white shark.

Many movies are about these sharks and are often betrayed as monsters. A lot of shark attacks are from the Great White and while sharks are misunderstood I think the Great white is the most misunderstood shark. Those shark attacks are often because of mistaken identity. When someone is on a serf board swimming and these sharks see your hands splashing around they think you are a seal. They will take a bite and because they have big mouths and so many teeth's it will cause series damaged. The moment they tried you they swim away because they don't like the taste of us. The Orca is the only natural predator to these sharks too. They are under the protection as a vulnerable specie. The attacks on humans are 10 times a year.

The Whale Shark

They swim slow. They only feed on plankton and small fishes. They are no threat to humans.

Thresher sharks

I love their fin in the back. They are also listed as Vulnerable by the World Conservation union. They are big game sharks and are hunted for their meat and fins. Despite being predatory fish they are no threat to humans.

These were the few sharks they talked about on this National Geographic. There are many more fascinating and interesting sharks. All of the sharks are critical to the oceans. They are not monsters and deserve our protection. We need to put an end to fishing these creatures and leave them alone. We also need to do something to stop climate change for doing more damaged to our oceans.
