To celebrate our favorite week of jaw-dropping shark facts and finny fish puns, we took this oppor-tuna-ty to ask around the Jimmy Beans and Madelinetosh warehouses to settle the ongoing debate once and for all:
Who IS the best shark out there?
It’s no surprise that we all have a special place in our hearts for different
sharks – after all, there are almost 500 types of shark out there! And that’s
just from what we know! About 80% of our own oceans remain unmapped, so who
knows what could be down there (other than mermaids and Atlantis, of course)!?
Of course, we had some trouble makers in this poll, thinking they could get
around the question by making us crack up.
Our Yarn Snatcher, Terry, surprised us all with a blast from the past, telling
us about his favorite shark being a Street Shark, which got us all to reminisce
about the good ol’ days of the 90s!
As you all know, JBW HQ is located in Reno, Nevada, which is home to a
multitude of casinos, and everywhere you look, there’s a slot machine! In gas
stations, in the airport, even in Jimmy Beans (though, ours is for yarn so
that automatically makes it better, just sayin’)!! So our Deal Dutchess, Dawn,
didn’t miss a beat, saying she loves a good “Card Shark”!
Of course, we have some honorable mentions:
- Angelshark: This adorable little guy has the ultra-fun-to-say scientific name of Squatina squatina and is flat like a flounder. While relatively small, these babies can pack a punch!
- Cookiecutter shark: This tiny terror earns its name by its feeding habit of gouging holes into larger prey like, well, a cookiecutter! Did we mention they also glow?!
- Nurse shark: Acting as the vacuum of the sea, this beauty scours the ocean floor looking for its prey, and they look surprisingly huggable, which is reflected in their nocturnal snuggle parties!
- Sawshark: The unusual appearance of this shark's "nose" is to blame for its name. This shark uses the barbs on the end to slice up their prey like a professional swordsman!
