In this episode, "Shark Myths", the Gettin’ Fishy crew breaks down the shark-iest myths! Sharks are awesome and fearsome and the subject of many movies and shows. The problem with this is that not every creator does their research and rumors can spread quickly. Today we debunk the top myths in the shark world. Is the Megalodon still living? Can sharks smell blood from a mile away? Will sharks die if they stop swimming? Lets find out!
This podcast is brought to you by the javelin. These fish are found off the coast of Australia and NZ and are found at depths from 80 to 500 metres. When not feeding on cephalopods, other fishes and crustaceans, the javelin can be found at track meets, being hurled long distances. The longest javelin throw is over 98 metres. Ouch. Cheers to you, noble fish for volunteering to be thrown by college and olympic athletes around the globes.
