Did you know? You're more likely to be killed by a vending machine than a shark. Yet somehow there's no "Vending Machine Week" on Discovery Channel. Big Snack clearly has better lawyers.

Sharks have been around for over 400 million years, meaning they're older than trees, dinosaurs, and the concept of land animals. They've seen some things. They've outlived some things. They'll outlive you too.

FUN FACT: Sharks can detect electrical fields generated by other animals. They can literally sense your heartbeat from meters away. So when they say sharks can "smell fear," it's not a metaphor.

SHARK WEEK CONFESSION: Most sharks are actually pretty chill and would prefer to avoid humans. The real danger in the ocean is jellyfish. But "Jellyfish Week" doesn't have the same ring to it.
