#SharkWeek Lesson No. 4

Taking a bite out of this one. 

Have you ever been curious about what a shark bite looked like, but was never curious enough to make it happen? Well now you don’t have to find out for yourself. In “Shark After Dark,” makeup artist extrodinaire, Andy Schoneberg, helped create what a shark bite would actually look like. See it for yourself:

Looks like sharks may be just as curious as we are.

But how exactly are sharks able to bite down in the infamous way we say portrayed in the media?

The upper jaws of sharks are not firmly connected to its skull. Thus, it is able to dislocate and provide a wide range for optimal biting action at a force of almost 669 pounds per square inch.

What a bite!

To save these amazing animals, check out Racing Extinction to see how you can do your part.

Technology Editor Hello World! It is quite difficult to summarize a human's character with only a few words. But here I go; I am a movie buff, a sushi fanatic, Korean, diligent, a student, an animal lover (especially dogs), a Taekwondo athlete, and amiable (within my own head) ...well I guess that was not too exhausting. I enjoy writing about everything. But more recently, I have discovered a passion to report on the best weekly finds in the realm of science. I sincerely hope many of you will stumble upon something to your pleasure, while reading my blogs.
