If you read my about me page, you would probably know that I love sharks. I have been interested in them all my life. Here are some cool things about them that you probably didn’t know:

• There are around 440 known species of sharks.
• Sharks range in size from a four inch long dog fish to a 45 foot long whale shark
• The dagger nose shark is the most endangered shark on the planet. That is probably why you have never heard of it, there are less than 200 in the world. It looks like this:
• Some sharks like the dagger nose shark are some of the most endangered animals on the planet while some sharks like the Ocean White Tip shark over populate the ocean.

I hope you found some of these facts interesting!

Hi! My name is Henry. I am 12 years old and live in the California Bay Area. I enjoy skateboarding, eating, playing guitar, drums and reading books in my free time. I have two younger brothers a dog, and am on a swim team and training in Tae-Kwon-Do. Ever since I was 4, I have been very interested in sharks. I love researching them and have always hoped to encounter one in real life. One of my life goals is to convince the world that they shouldn’t be afraid of sharks and that hunting them into endangerment is wrong. I will mostly be using my blog to share my experiences in my humanities classes, recommending books, sharing interesting facts, etc. I hope you enjoy blog and please make sure to comment respectfully.

       If you are looking for a great book and love animals, you should read Scat by: Carl Hiaasen. Scat is about a boy named Nick and a girl named Marta. They go to a private school together in south Carolina. One day, they go on a perfectly normal field trip to the black vine swamp. During the field trip, a fire starts and they have to evacuate the area. When their science teacher turns back to get a student’s inhaler, she goes missing, Nick and Marta go searching for her. After they find her, they realize that her disappearance is much more than it seems. I think that anybody in the world would like this amazing book, but I especially recommend it to animal lovers.
