Even I have been caught, but a very kind human saw me and quickly helped me escape. He is the reason why I know there are good humans out there and I appreciate their kindness and how they’re fighting for us. My friends are captured and soon after killed for their fins, teeth, jaws,skin, cartilage and liver oil. What’s even worse those fishers dump the body out in the ocean.

Andy Dehart, Discovery Channel Shark Advisor, spoke about the North Carolina shark over fishing problem. The shark populations on the East Coast were extremely over-fished which lead to the over population of sting rays, a main food-stock for sharks. The stingrays in turn decimated the shellfish populations on the East Coast, leading to calm and shellfish shortages. This shows that sharks are necessary for every eco-system and their destruction affects us in more ways then we can imagine. Sharks are very at-risk for over-fishing because they take a long time to reach the stage where they can reproduce and in general only have a few pups when they give birth.

With an empty stomach, the large bull orca confronts the lone, yet cocky Great White Shark. As the Great White bares its teeth, the bull orca jumps out of the water, slamming its body on the shark. In desperation, the small shark tries to ram the orca’s eye, but hits its false eye patch, still injuring him. With his temper blaring, the seven-ton killer whale swims full speed at the shark, smacking his flukes on the small head of the Great White.

The grouper is fond of crustaceans such as lobsters and crabs, as well as octopuses, and smaller fishes. They do not chew the food they eat; rather, they simply swallow it. But that doesn 't mean these food items for them would turn out to be whole once they excreted them, because, unknown to many, the grouper actually has a gigantic tooth which is situated just right on the corners of its jaw, which is used for crushing the sea

Odysseus then went to the beach and began to swim out into the ocean. After an hour or two of swimming in the ocean Odysseus decided to cut himself to lure a shark. After he did this he only had to wait a couple minutes until a shark appeared. The shark began to circle Odysseus waiting for a moment to attack, and Odysseus was following the shark waiting to attack as well. Suddenly the shark made its move at Odysseus, but Odysseus was one step ahead and he flailed to the side and jabbed his spear into the heart of the shark killing it.
