MEGAN JAMES, COUNT ON 2.
SHARK WEEK IS BACK AT THE
SOUTH CAROLINA AQUARIUM, AND
WHETHER YOU'RE A SHARK LOVER OR
QUITE TERRIFIED OF THEM LIKE ME,
THE EXHIBITS AND SHARK-THEMED
EXPERIENCES ARE BOUND TO
FASCINATE.
THE FIN-TASTIC KICKING OFF
TODAY.
THE AQUARIUM HAS A SHARK-THEMED
SCAVENGER HUNT, POP-UP
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS ABOUT
SHARKS, AND YOU CAN PET A SHARK
IN THE TOUCH TANK.
SHARK WEEK ACTIVITIES ARE FREE
ALL WEEK WITH A GENERAL
ADMISSION TICKET.
SHARKS GET A REALLY BAD
REPUTATION SOMETIMES FOR BEING,
YOU KNOW, MINDLESS EATERS AND
THEY'RE REALLY ACTUALLY VERY
SPECIAL ANIMALS THAT ARE REALLY
IMPORTANT FOR THE HEALTH OF THE
ECOSYSTEM SO WE LIKE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE SPECIAL
FACTS ABOUT THEM THIS WEEKEND
AND ALL THE TIME.
SEVERAL KIND OF SHARKS LIVE
OFF OUR SHORE INCLUDING THE
BLACK NOSED SHARK, SAND BAR
SHARK, THE SAND TIGER SHARK, AND
THE NURSE SHARK.
THE FAMOUS OR INFAMOUS GREAT
WHITE SHARK IS KNOWN TO
FREQUENTLY SWIM PAST OUR COAST.
FOR ALL THINGS SHARK WEEK
