DiscoveryNews • so this might sound kind of cheesy, but watching shark wranglers has really made me appreciate sharks more than fear them. granted they’re still not my favorite, but i can walk through a shark tunnel in an aquarium without having a panic attack. and that’s kind of a big deal for me. i had always been absolutely horrified by them. and 20 years later, i’m finally getting over it.

That is so great to hear! Congratulations!

I think you’ve caught real the point of Shark Week. Discovery wants us to appreciate how these beautiful, and occasionally endangered, animals behave. They’re not just crazy killing machines, but they’re beautiful animals. They shouldn’t feared, but respected and revered as some of nature’s best predators.

Thanks for your note!
