I thought parthenogenesis in sharks was fairly well established?

Where are the three wise sharks, and what presents did they bring?

Jesus, a shark!

I used to be well in to Sharks. I was mad about them. I used to know all the latin names for them and everything. I was a proper little shark geek. I applied to go on The Really Wild Show as a shark expert, but they turned me down. It upset me so much I threw all my books away and vowed to never let myself get let down like that again.

GY - apparently, yeah, though I'd never heard of it before.

I'm only really about the dolphins.

Looking forward to the miracles the Holy Shark brings us. The miracle of the loaves and the humans should be a cracker, for one.

EIM, what's your favourite type of shark, and why?

That's a really good question, SR.

For a long time it was carcharodon carcharias, but that was a knee-jerk reaction from the media exposure it receives. It was, after all, Jaws that first got me interested in sharks, and so it was natural to be attracted by that mixture of glamour and ferocity.

After a while I decided that I liked the tiger shark (galeocerdo cuvier). It's the second most dangerous shark to man, so still retains that 'nightmare of the deep' kind of appeal. But it's also known as the dustbin of the seas, they'll eat anything: suits of armour, reindeer, car license plates, all sorts.

But now? It's probably the Wobbegong. Why? Well, as Jane's Addiction sang, just because.

Excellent.

I saw a hammerhead shark in the River Severn once. Its sat-nav must have been fucked.

I once swam with a nurse shark. It was ok. That's my only, "Hey, there's a shark!" annecdote, sadly. And it was kind of staged.

I hate the goblin shark. Wierd looking fucker that it is.
