Take your dog surfing with you, and dress it up in this cute shark fin life jacket. Paint it in shark colors, and pretend you’re a complete badass frolicking in the water with sharks. On a more pragmatic note, the fin can be used to grab your dog while they’re out swimming, and the jacket keeps them afloat making doggie paddling safer. The full body jacket is designed to keep the dog’s mouth out of the water. Costs $40.

Sharks, as we know are those wily creatures who are ruthless killing machines and hunters with the lifelong aim of eating humans. It so happens that humans love to eat sharks too. About 100 million sharks lose their lives every year to “finning” i.e. slicing off the shark fin so it can be used in a soup. Marketer Joe Chernov created this infographic to display the amount of people sharks kill in a year, against the amount of sharks that are killed every hour. Humans FTW!
Researchers at Michigan State University have confirmed that the two-headed bull shark captured in March 2011 is really a two headed shark, and not a pair of conjoined twin sharks. Researchers ran a lot of tests including MRIs and X-rays. The two-headed baby shark was found by a fisherman inside the uterus of a bull shark.
Like most people, we would find it hard to believe the existence of a cyclops shark, but the image of the one-eyed shark fetus is very much true. The fetus was discovered when fisherman Enrique Lucero León caught a shark, and upon cutting open his catch found nine normal shark fetuses and this one-eyed shark.
Enal, a six year old living in the Indonesian fishing community Bajau Laut is seen in this photograph. Riding a shark. The kid swims with sharks in a penned off area underneath his home that rests on stilts. The photograph was captured by James Morgan in Wangi, Indonesia. Which makes me think, what did I do today?

Designer Aleksandr Mukomelov‘s Shark Lamp could find as many uses as you could think of a shark fin. In fact, you could even get creative to play along with the lamp. Of course, remember not to take your own jaws out with it. Also, I make poor jokes and bad puns; but that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop.

One big story this guy will tell forever in his life is the time when he went into an aquarium, and played tennis with a shark. Some people will refuse to believe the story, others will look on in awe, and this guy will continue with the story. In another turn to the story, the guy is actually testing Dunlop’s new Biomimetic tennis range at the London Aquarium. Since the racket is inpired by shark-skin, someone thought it would be a great idea to throw a guy into a tank with sharks, have him play tennis, and see how much drag the racket produced. Still, cool story bro.

Sharks are considered solitary hunters, sometimes a couple of sharks band together for the kill, but it is very rare to see them going for the kill in such large numbers. This video was recently shot off the coast of Australia, from a helicopter. Scores of sharks were captured in a feeding frenzy, attacking a school of fish. Naturally, such a huge number of sharks close to the coast set the alarms ringing, and the Australian government is now considering options to prevent shark attacks on swimmers on the beaches.
