    If you happened to flick onto the Discovery Channel this past week, you might have had the chance to watch quite a few programs featuring sharks. You see it was Shark Week and, in an effort to celebrate and educate its viewers on the stealthy & stealthy killers (they don’t have vocal chords), Discovery Channel aired a variety of shows. 2oceansvibe Radio’s Afternoon Drive hosts, Rhowan Johannes and Olwetu Mtiya, got the chance to interview Emmy Award winning cinematographer and apex predator expert, Andy Casagrande about why sharks are so misunderstood in the spirit of the channel’s shark season.

     

    Now, for those avid shark fan viewers, the fin-tastic shark programming will continue for a full month in September on Animal Planet (DStv 183), keeping you captivated with more shark season programming.

    We’re giving you the chance to win a pair of tickets to go shark cage diving. All you need to do is comment below with the best shark meme. So get a little creative, add a little genius and our judges will see who fairs best. To get you started on the quality we be looking for, here are a few shark facts to get you inspired:

    1. In aquariums, sharks bond with staff. Sharks behave differently with humans they know well than they do with strangers.
    2. Sharks are susceptible to the moon’s control of ocean tides. Moon phases affect sharks’ eating habits and draw them closer to shore.
    3. Sharks can use heartbeats to track their prey. They have electricity-sensing nodules on their noses called ampullae of Lorenzini.
    4. When some shark embryos develop teeth, they eat their unborn siblings until one shark remains. This is known as intrauterine cannibalism.
    5. Shark body design stabilized 140 million years ago – about 300 million years after sharks first evolved – and remains the same today.
