Jumping the shark

The Great White Shark that I chose to research was Katherine. She was tagged on August 20, 2013 in Cape Cod Massachusetts. She weighed 2,300 pounds, 14 feet and 2 inches. She was named in honor of Katharine Lee Bates, a Cape Cod native and songwriter—best known for her poem and song “America The Beautiful”. The latest ping for Katharine is off the coast of Florida, near New Smyrna Beach. This area is also known as the shark capital and it consists of murky water that has bait fish within it.…

There is an old legend about a monster living in the depths of Loch Ness. Some say that it is a dinosaur, others say it's a giant serpent, and others believe it is something else. However, I believe it is one big fat hoax. Many Loch Ness plants and animals are large, large enough to be confused for a monster. One example of something that could be confused as a monster is a sturgeon. Many Loch Ness sightings described Nessie to have bony plates on its back, which matches a sturgeons…

Loch Ness cuts like an arrow through Scotland and stretches from Inverness in the northeast to Fort William in the south. On November in 1933 took Hugh Gary a factory worker, what appears to be the first photograph of the beast. It took place where the river…

Most people have heard the famous shark motif from Jaws at least once in their life, whether they’ve known it or not. The infamous theme comes from a classic movie from 1975 that is iconic for its music, plot, director, and use of camera angles to progress the suspense in the film. This ahead-of-its-time movie sets the standard by which all summer blockbusters have since been measured, and became one of the most influential movies in film history. The power of a good movie that's so ahead of its…

The Great White Sharks along with a few other marine organisms such as stingrays, chimaera and skates are unique as their skeletons are made of cartilage rather than bone. Majority of Great Whites can measure up to a whopping 15 feet (4.6 metres) with an average weight of 1,500-2,450 pounds. Females tend to grow larger than males and some specimens have been recorded exceeding 20 feet (6 metres) and weighing up to 5000 pounds. The Great White has a slate, grey upper body which aids them when…

He traveled to the city of Mossel Bay to work with marina scientist, Ryan Johnson for his upcoming film, “Sharkville” which was a documentary about Great White Sharks living in the bay.

He had a short paragraph about helping students realize their dreams in documentary film study. “If you are on this path, then my…

Water Far in the ocean, I was on a small boat with four people to go diving. Jamie, Bob, Matt, and Mike were there to support me, but they didn’t want to go in the water. Before I dived in the water, Matt had given me a pocket knife for defence, but I figured it wouldn’t work, considering there were gigantic creatures in the ocean. I dived into the water, but my heart was pounding, and then, I saw a large grey streak dashing by. Then it came back, and the closer it got to me, the faster I swam…
