When you think of sharks, what comes to mind? Blood-thirsty monsters? Cuddly puppy...fish? In this episode of Nerdin’ About we discover why neither fits the fin, and why if you’ve seen one shark, you haven’t seen them all. We’re joined by marine conservation biologist Dr. David Shiffman, who answers all of our questions about shark diversity, shark sex, shark conservation, and of course, how the movie Jaws influenced how society thinks about sharks. We also dive into how the loss of some species (whether they be predators or… super-urinators) can have serious consequences for marine ecosystems.
