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!
