Countdown to Kisame Week '25

We're just three weeks away! Today, let's take a peek at how sharks thrive and function in their ecosystems!

Did You Know...

When a shark dies, it returns to the food web of its habitat! Similar to whale falls, shark remains, once they have drifted to sea floor, will provide food and nourishment for countless small vertebrates, arthropods, mollusks, and microbacteria. This ensures that nutrients are recycled and redistributed within the food web and continue to power the organism inhabiting that environment.

One of sharks’ primary roles within their ecosystem is keeping the fish population in check! Sharks, like many predators, tend to hunt the weak, sick, and aged prey of their choosing, maintaining a balance between prey species, which in turn allows producers such as coral and aquatic vegetation the ability to replenish their nutrients to fuel the entire food chain.

Sharks strengthen biodiversity! Their migration patterns, feeding schedules, and general marine movement activity. This ensures that food sources are plentiful for each niche of different ecosystems.

Countdown to Kisame Week 2025

We're Three weeks away! This time, we're taking a deeper peek at how sharks have accumulated such a fearsome reputation.

Did You Know...

The fear of sharks, or galeophobia, is not irrational–they are predatory fish and have on record mistaken people for prey. They are wild animals and behave accordingly when they feel their safety is threatened. But, the fear of losing control and possible pain of being eaten alive are recorded reasons for why people are afraid of sharks, according to National Geographic.

Fear-mongering for sharks has been used by Hollywood and corporations that wish to profit off their absence, but the odds of being killed or eaten by a shark are extremely low. There is a one in 3,748,067 chance  of being killed in a shark attack–you’re more likely to be ended by a cow collapsing or a dog attack than an encounter with a shark.

There are many ways to coax away the fear of sharks: you can read up on their behavior, attend webinars on crucial shark research, or, if worried about a beachside trip, invest some time into planning where you may be swimming and which sharks inhabit that ecosystem. Of course, sharing fun facts (like we are!) helps spread a better representation of sharks.

Countdown To Kisame Week '25

We're Four Weeks away! Today, we're looking deeper into how sharks have become movie sensations.

Did You Know...

The movie Jaws set the precedent for sharks as villains of the silver screen--the man-made monster, only appears a little over an hour into the movie’s 124 minute runtime. The actual shark is a mechanical prop loathingly named Bruce, which kept malfunctioning on set.

The infamous fever dream that is the Sharknado movie was shot in 18 days. The principle photography was so rushed that 

Shark Week is celebrating its 37th birthday this season! Running since 1988, Shark Week has curated over 300 hours of content, with an average of 20 million views annually.

Countdown To Kisame Week '25

We're now Five weeks away! This week, we're taking a peek into the depths of our darkness dwelling sharks for live by the ocean floor!

Did You Know...

Sharks can be equipped for more than just open water and coastal habitats; one such shark, the six-gilled shark, is considered to be one of the first modern-aged sharks, evolving around 190 million years ago during the late Jurassic period!

Sharks living in the Benthic Zone need to be equipped to thrive in almost no light! Recently (published in 2021), three new species of bioluminescent sharks were discovered, with one of them, the kitefin shark, growing to almost six feet in length. This makes it the largest bioluminescent organism to be discovered!

The Goblin Shark is one of the better known deep ocean species of shark because of its looks! Colored pink because of its near-translucent skin and equipped with a snout-like structure, these sharks sense heartbeats of their prey before using their extendable jaws to capture food like a bear trap

Countdown to Kisame Week '25!

We are now six weeks away! For this week's batch of Shark Facts, we're taking a peek at sharks and speed!

Did You Know...

The fastest shark on the planet is the Mako Shark; at 13 feet long, it can reach speeds of over 45 mph thanks to its long, slender body and spear, torpedo-shaped frame. There are individuals that have been recorded at close to 60 mph!

Speed is not just about spriting–some sharks can travel great spans of ocean in record breaking time! The Great White Shark has been known to swim over 1000 km in less than a year, spanning regions from Hawaii to South Africa and the northwest coast of Australia. This helps them feed and reproduce in the best conditions for their species to thrive.

Sharks also use their burst of speed in order to jump out of the water. Using their strong muscles and bullet-like frames, Great White Sharks are known as some of the most aerodynamic fish on the planet–individuals have been recorded breaching the waves almost at 15 feet high in order to surprise their prey.

Countdown to Kisame Week '25!

We are now seven weeks away! This time, we're looking at sharks and their social skills!

Did You Know...

Sharks rarely interact with people; often, when they do, it is because they are curious or acting on their instinct–protecting themselves in their territory or occasionally mistaking us as prey or larger predator.

Typically, sharks are independent creatures, but a few species can converge in groups! Grey Reef Sharks have been observed working in long-lasting hunting groups, while Zebra sharks are known to be playful around others of their species and creatures of similar size.

Certain species of sharks are considered to be deeply maternal! Requiem sharks, such as the blacktip sharks have been recorded protecting their young until they are large enough to hunt independently.

Countdown to Kisame Week '25!

Prompts have officially been released! As your firing up your creative capabilites, this week's Shark Facts with Kisame' Corner focus on sharks' sizes and age!

Did you know...

Size can have massive scaling! The largest shark is the 13.7 m (45 ft) whale shark. The 22 to 25 cm (8.7 to 9.8 in.) midwater shark and pygmy ribbontail catshark are among the smallest.

The oldest known shark species is the Greenland Shark. A study in 2016 calculated the age of 28 individual females, averaging an age range of 272-500 years old! This may be influenced by their Arctic habitat, which can slow their metabolisms.

Contrary to public belief most sharks are not large enough to create serious threats towards the average person–bigger sharks tend to live in deeper waters where human contact is less likely, given their need for large territory, food supply, and habitat.

Countdown to Kisame Week '25

Sharks, like our favorite fish man, often get a bad rep (well, maybe Kisame’s reputation is deserved), and are usually the target of many people’s fears. While they are wild animals and behave as such, there is more to these incredible creatures than the world sometimes give them credit for!

In the weeks leading up to Kisame Week, we’re going to share some incredible facts about sharks–after all, with over 400 unique and diverse species, there’s a lot to celebrate!

Join us as we sharpen our swords, grab our writing and art tools, and prepare for one hell of a Shark Week: Kisame Week 2025!

Up first, Sharks and their appetite!

Did you know...

When close to giving birth, female sharks (both when laying eggs and giving live birth) will lose their appetite. This instinct is thought to prevent cannibalism when the newborns enter the world.

There are three known ram-feeder sharks! Similar to how baleen whales sweep up krill and zooplankton, basking sharks, megamouth sharks, and whale sharks feast upon millions of tiny invertebrates, small fish, and zooplankton to power their massive bodies–they can filter out on average 450 tons of water to capture their prey.

Sharks’ bite can pack a punch! The Cookie Cutter Shark, also referred to as the Cigar Shark, will approach its larger prey and steal a chunk of their flesh in the dark depths of the Pacific and Atalntic—they leave a curricular mark, similar to a cookie cutter device on fresh dough!
