1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,240 Hello and welcome back Shark. Here's to another episode of 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,360 Deep Dives with Sharks. My name is Alex and I'm the host 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,720 of this thing and I'm just trying to bring peace, freedom, 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,960 justice and security to my new empire of sharks. 5 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,320 Anyway, I appreciate y'all sticking with me while I was 6 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:22,080 gone for two months on another impromptu hiatus, but I have a 7 00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:26,960 little rundown slash update. I travelled over 11,000 miles 8 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,280 since May 22nd through June 15th and I saw zero sharks. 9 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,920 So America, why are there no sharks in the middle of our 10 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,560 country? Feel like that needs to be 11 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,920 fixed, among with many other things. 12 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,920 But anyway, I should be done with travel for a little bit, 13 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,120 which is exciting, at least I'm hoping so, and I should be able 14 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,440 to settle into a rhythm and be more productive. 15 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,640 It's also been requested that we do another movie review. 16 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,840 So that will be coming along with, of course, our annual 17 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,080 Shark Week versus Shark Fest reviews. 18 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,240 Once I actually watch the programming because I was a 19 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,800 little bit busy and missed most of it. 20 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,040 I'm still trying to get this more uniform and still streaming 21 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,360 on the weekends to talk many things sharky. 22 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,840 So follow the links in the tap link in the description so that 23 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,720 you'll be able to get to all these social medias. 24 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,480 But here we are getting this episode out once again. 25 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,840 I'm very glad to have you all here now to stay up to date on 26 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,680 everything Deep Dives with Sharks, hit the follow button on 27 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,960 Spotify, Apple Music, Instagram, Twitch, YouTube, Amazon Music or 28 00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:30,280 anywhere else that you get your podcasts at Deep Dives with 29 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,880 sharks. Feel free to ask any questions, 30 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,560 share any comments or any shark related content on the social 31 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,520 media and in the comments. And I did want to thank a couple 32 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,240 people that I think recently found the stream or the podcast. 33 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,640 I'll say as they did a comment on like every episode that they 34 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,600 had listened to, which is incredible. 35 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,320 And I do really appreciate that. And I think we're also really 36 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,480 close to hitting 2800 followers, which is incredible. 37 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,760 So I want to thank you guys all very much for all your support. 38 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,520 But I do have a little bit of a correction slash question corner 39 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,840 for this episode. I haven't asked some more 40 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,760 questions since last episode and I figure I'll answer them here. 41 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,520 So feel free to ask questions in the comments or DMS and I'll 42 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,800 answer them here occasionally so that every episode is in a long 43 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,440 question corner And then 4 minutes of sharks. 44 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,640 I feel like a lot of us have started listening to a podcast 45 00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:21,000 and then realized that the intro becomes longer than the content 46 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,160 and that's not as fun to listen to. 47 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,720 So here we'll go ahead and we will try to figure out how to 48 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,240 make this nice balance. But First off, I got a question 49 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,360 from Ted and Georgia. They asked how many bones a 50 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,640 basking shark would have. As I had previously mentioned, 51 00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:40,920 they have no bones besides a jaw as many other sharks. 52 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,480 And I haven't come across really any sharks that have bones, just 53 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,320 cartilage and similar structures. 54 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,560 But there are so many sharks to cover still, so there could be 55 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,040 one out there. Plus, researchers are always 56 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,360 finding new sharks and could discover a Bony shark. 57 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,200 So we'll have to wait and see. I do want to clarify a little 58 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,640 bit though, because of course, having the jaws and teeth count 59 00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:03,440 as a bone can be a little bit confusing, especially for a 60 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,840 large shark like a basking shark where you don't really see their 61 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,640 teeth. Because whale sharks and basking 62 00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:11,560 sharks appear to be toothless, but they actually have hundreds 63 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,840 of very small hooked teeth. They're easy to see if you're 64 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,960 like right next to it and like being its dentist, but of course 65 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,240 if you're just looking at a picture of it, it's very hard. 66 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,280 They don't use those teeth to hold or bite prey as they are 67 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,920 filter feeders, but those teeth are believed to help with 68 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,640 filtration. All this to say, depending on 69 00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:33,360 the source, sharks will have anywhere from zero to 1 bones 70 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,520 depending on if they count the jaw and others will count the 71 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,600 teeth which gives a wide range. But yeah, they do have very few 72 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,520 bones, and they are pretty much made-up entirely of cartilage. 73 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,840 There also was another comment which unfortunately I couldn't 74 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,040 find but I remember seeing it. Someone asked after watching 75 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,760 episode 2 I believe it was that due to further research, is it 76 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,880 still not recommended to punch sharks? 77 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,440 Which amazing question and I did want to update this a little bit 78 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,200 and I kept forgetting so here we are. 79 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,280 But after looking more into it, you should never just go punch a 80 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,280 shark for no reason. And you should avoid touching 81 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,880 sharks in general because similar to dogs or other 82 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,160 animals, we don't know how temperamental they'll be. 83 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,680 So they could perceive like a touch that's just supposed to be 84 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,520 like a nice friendly pet as an attack. 85 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,320 And then they'll retaliate and bite you, which is not great. 86 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,560 But you should try to keep some distance from larger sharks. 87 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,680 And it won't be easy to redirect them with like a gentle push. 88 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,200 You'll actually have to have like a little bit of force 89 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,600 behind it. So having something to keep that 90 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,960 distance between you and the shark is never a bad idea. 91 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,800 Usually there's like shark bullies or things like that. 92 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,880 Those will be really helpful because it'll bite that instead 93 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,600 of your hand if it doesn't like where it was touched. 94 00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:41,880 Now, if a shark does bite you and is holding on, then yeah, 95 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,840 punching it is not a bad idea at all. 96 00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:46,960 Go for the parts that'll be a bit more sensitive like the eyes 97 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,240 or nose as the ambulate of Lorenzini will go into a frenzy 98 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,520 when it's touched and it can cause them to open their mouth. 99 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,520 Now if you get bit and the shark let's go in a swimming away and 100 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,440 you decide you're going to go fight it in the parking lot, 101 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,120 it's not really recommended because you probably already 102 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,920 need medical attention and that shark is not going to be in the 103 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,680 parking lot anyway so you're just kind of wasting time. 104 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,200 But the TLDR version is you don't punch sharks in general or 105 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,200 for fun. Try to have something to help 106 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,600 push a shark away if it's getting too close for comfort. 107 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,200 But of course, if a shark is biting you punch it like don't 108 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,160 just sit there and be like, well, Alex told me not to to 109 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,320 punch this shark, but it is currently eating my foot. 110 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,880 So I'll stop that. Not like you swing on it. 111 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,440 It's that's fine. That's the common sense here. 112 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,760 If you're in danger, punch a shark. 113 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,680 If not, don't punch a shark. There we go. 114 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,960 Now getting into the actual sharks for this episode. 115 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,480 And I did say sharks because we are, of course dealing with 116 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,040 another three shark episode. The first shark we're going to 117 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,120 be talking about is the blue shark. 118 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,440 The blue shark is the only shark in their genus and are found in 119 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,200 deeper waters of temperate and tropical environments. 120 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,520 They vary in size by gender, with males going to be about 121 00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,880 1.82 to 2.82 meters or 6 to 9.3 feet long, and females tend to 122 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:07,720 grow to be about 2.2 to 3.3 meters or 7.2 to 10.8 feet long. 123 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,800 So they want to get a little bit bigger. 124 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,080 They just identify as the other gender and they change. 125 00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:15,160 Not actually it's a just a little funny ha ha. 126 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,840 But you know, females are bigger. 127 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,640 They tend to have sleek bodies with a smaller dorsal fin, very 128 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,880 long pectoral fins and their tail is similar to a nurse shark 129 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,400 although closer to equal on top and bottom but it does still 130 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,160 have a little notch at the tip. They tend to look surprised to 131 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,080 see everyone's here as their eyes are large and tend to have 132 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,320 a people so you can see a little bit of like the whites of their 133 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,520 eye. Their mouth is slightly open and 134 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,560 they have an elongated snout. They do really appreciate that 135 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,920 everyone came to their surprise party and they were 100% 136 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,800 surprised. They tend to weigh between 27 137 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:54,200 and 55 kilograms or 60 to 121 lbs for males and for females 138 00:06:54,200 --> 00:07:00,320 that go anywhere from 93 to 182 kilograms or 205 to 401 lbs. 139 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:08,720 Larger females have gotten up to 204kg or 450 lbs So which I 140 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,680 think it might have been one O 5 initially. 141 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,120 I'm not realizing that the two O 5 is less. 142 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,040 Anyway, I think I did my numbers wrong I apologize. 143 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,600 There the blue shark has five senses similar to many other 144 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,840 requiem sharks that include vision, hearing, lateral line 145 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,760 which is a sensory organ that helps detect vibrations and 146 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,040 changes in water pressure which is according to Google Electro 147 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,120 reception. So that system that allows them 148 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,480 to sense electronic pulses in the water such as heartbeat and 149 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,760 also chemo reception or chemo reception that helps determine 150 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,080 food sources such as fish stress juices released into the water. 151 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,640 They also have special eyes compared to other sharks as they 152 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,960 like being anywhere from the surface of the water to 350 153 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,160 meters or 1150 feet. So their eyes are able to adjust 154 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,320 to that bright and very dim light settings. 155 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,480 So that's also why you can see the pupil a little bit. 156 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:07,040 They are given full 360° vision vertically and up to about 338° 157 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,560 horizontally. So they can't see completely 158 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,080 around themselves, but they're pretty darn close to it. 159 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,400 For reference, humans have about like 180 vision I believe it is. 160 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,000 Think a little bit more. They cover a wide range of the 161 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,640 ocean, as far north as Norway and as far South as Chile. 162 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,800 So pretty much everywhere except for Antarctica and the North 163 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,120 Pole. They are mostly found in water 164 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:35,120 temperatures between 12 and 20°C or 54 to 68°F, but have gone 165 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:40,919 from 3.9 to 31°C or 39 to 87.8°F. 166 00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:44,159 Which I will say Celsius makes so much more sense for measuring 167 00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:46,320 temperatures. A Fahrenheit's a lot more 168 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,080 specific, but when I'm trying to explain to a European that it's 169 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,960 106° and they think that everything's just boiling, it is 170 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,560 pretty Dang hot out. But we're not all just catching 171 00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:58,560 on fire. Well, we do have wildfires 172 00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:00,800 anyway. Blue sharks, like many other 173 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,240 sharks, migrate across the ocean during seasonal changes, as well 174 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,920 as looking for more food or better environments. 175 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,840 They usually swim around 1.3 kilometers an hour during the 176 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,360 day, but are more active at night, swimming in about 2.8 177 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,480 kilometers per hour now. These bursts occur throughout 178 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,040 the water column, as these sharks will search for food in 179 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,600 deeper than 100 meters if necessary. 180 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,320 They do tend to move closer or further from the surface 181 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,040 depending on temperatures and if they need to warm up more, but 182 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,520 sometimes they do it just to work on a tan because they are 183 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,280 rather blue. They're not quite as blue as a 184 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,280 member of the Blue Man Group, but much more blue than a sand 185 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,440 tiger shark. Now, blue sharks tend to eat a 186 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,880 lot of different organisms as they inhabit many areas of the 187 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,600 ocean. Well, pretty much the entire 188 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,600 ocean except for, you know, the North and South Poles. 189 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,360 But they don't like the cold anyway. 190 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,080 They prefer squid over everything else. 191 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,560 But we'll also eat blanket and pelagic octopus, cuttlefish, 192 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,000 lobster, crab, shrimp, and many Bony fish. 193 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,360 They yearn for the bones since sharks don't have bones. 194 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,280 I've been talking a lot about cartilage and sharks recently. 195 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,320 I'm going to eventually get off that topic I swear. 196 00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:11,240 But outside of the Bony fish, they also eat smaller sharks, 197 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,240 some birds and porpoise and whale blubber. 198 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,720 Now blue sharks benefit from pack hunting as they can stir up 199 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,080 a bait ball that forces fish towards the surface. 200 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,480 They can then catch their prey easier. 201 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,680 It's easier to catch things in a group versus an individual, 202 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,200 unless it's like a shark. They like individuals, sometimes 203 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,320 small fish. Anyway, there's a whole thing 204 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,920 like a tangent I can go on but I won't. 205 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,520 But you can see bait balls a lot while you're at the beach as the 206 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,760 water tends to look like it's boiling from the surface. 207 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,360 But that's just because of the bait. 208 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,600 The fish are all towards the surface and are trying to get 209 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,840 away from whatever is currently hunting them. 210 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,920 Now just because you see a bait ball, that doesn't necessarily 211 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,120 mean that there's a shark there. Other animals like dolphins or 212 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,880 fish like tuna will stir up bait balls while hunting. 213 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,280 Blue sharks are prey for larger sharks such as great whites or 214 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,400 tiger sharks. But I've also been haunted by 215 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,240 orca, which is why I'm not a huge fan of orcas because they 216 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,120 just eat too many sharks. But not only do these sharks 217 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,440 have to worry about larger sharks and orcas, but also 218 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,360 parasites like the tetrafyllidine tapeworm and 219 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,840 mammals like California sea lions, northern elephant seals 220 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,240 and Cape fur seals. So real quick, blue sharks, you 221 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,920 and I got to have a quick chat here. 222 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,080 You have to step it up. Great whites will try to eat all 223 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,440 these things and y'all are getting got by them. 224 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,920 So we got to work on it. OK, thanks. 225 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,000 Now, humans don't encounter blue sharks in the wild often as they 226 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,120 like the open ocean and we don't really hunt them, but there have 227 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,160 been only 13 bites by blue sharks on humans from 1580 until 228 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,440 2013. Now, since 2013 there have been 229 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,440 over 500. I'm kidding, there's been 0. 230 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,640 They're still sitting at 13 bites total. 231 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,600 So humans don't interact with them very often. 232 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,520 They have been unsuccessfully kept in captivity on multiple 233 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,920 occasions, but have either died or been returned to the ocean 234 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,760 after a few months. They are relatively easy to feed 235 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,720 and transports. That's not the problem. 236 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,560 The problem is that they don't do well with flat surfaces and 237 00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:06,440 tend to injure themselves. So kind of a little bit of a 238 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,160 recession as like who they get haunted by and getting got by 239 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,320 fish tanks. But that's also why it's very 240 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:16,800 important for the zoologists and zookeepers and Aquarius in the 241 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,680 aquariums to know what animals they're taking care of. 242 00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:23,360 Animals can be very susceptible to injury or illness and not 243 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,440 knowing these things can be very detrimental for the animal. 244 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,280 Now blue sharks are listed as not threatened for their 245 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,120 conservation status as they tend to do fine in the wild and they 246 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,800 really aren't messed with by humans. 247 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,240 So it's really exciting, but that's what I have for the blue 248 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,080 shark. Of course, any questions, any 249 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,480 comments, concerns, anything of that nature, you can always send 250 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,040 them over to me on the social media, anything in the tap link 251 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,240 or in the comments. Now going on to the next one, we 252 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,160 have the pajama shark. Now pajama sharks are also known 253 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,840 as the striped cat shark as they are a member of the cat shark 254 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,040 family. Now it gets its name from the 255 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,080 stripes that run down the length of its body, which mimic striped 256 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,920 pyjamas. And for the adults listening, 257 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,120 the pyjama shark did not inspire that movie that's from World War 258 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,720 2. And for the kids listening, 259 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,000 don't worry, it's just striped pyjamas. 260 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,880 This shark is very different from other cat sharks as it 261 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:18,680 grows to be a bit larger at 1.1 meters or 3.6 feet and around 79 262 00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:22,960 kilograms or 17 lbs. Now that puts them at a very 263 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,280 small side for sharks as the average is about 5 feet. 264 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,080 So they are a couple feet shorter than that and if you're 265 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,520 over 5 feet tall, congratulations, you are taller 266 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,400 than the average shark. Now pajama sharks have a very 267 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,280 Flathead. It's almost like someone stepped 268 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,880 on their nose. They have barbels that hang off 269 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,840 of their nose, but they don't reach their mouth. 270 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,720 The snout comes almost to a blunt point, so similar to a 271 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,800 tiger shark, but it's much more flat. 272 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,280 I don't believe I've ever had to go over a shark's nostrils 273 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,360 before, as they usually tend to operate similar to ours, but 274 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,320 instead of smelling air, they smell water. 275 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,200 But today we get to talk about a pajama shark's nostrils because 276 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,320 they're different. Now they have 3 lobes, one for 277 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,280 in current, one for X current, and then they have the barbell 278 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,000 which is also part of the nostril. 279 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,280 And I couldn't find a whole lot on what those barbels do, so I'm 280 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,000 assuming they operate similar to other fish, just helping with 281 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,840 sensing things around them. Their eyes are horizontally 282 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,000 Oval, meaning that you take an Oval and you put the long ends 283 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,640 on the top and bottom and boom, pajama shark eye. 284 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,360 Now their eyes are also rather wide set compared to other 285 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:25,920 sharks. So for a little bit of clarity, 286 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,320 they're not quite as far apart as Sid the Sloth from Ice Age. 287 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,560 They're also not hammerhead length, but if you take like a 288 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,360 black tip reef shark and then put the eyes a little bit wider, 289 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,560 then there you have it. It's about how far wide their 290 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,320 eyes are. They have a deep Ridge that runs 291 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,280 under their eye, which looks pretty neat. 292 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,720 The pajama shark has a slender body that becomes more narrow 293 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,000 towards the tail. So they kind of start narrow, 294 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,640 get a bit wider, and then get narrow again, almost kind of 295 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,400 like a torpedo would. Other pectoral fins are slightly 296 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,440 large for their body, but the two dorsal fins are very small 297 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,000 comparatively. The dorsal fins sit further back 298 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,840 on their body, with the first one being about 3/4 of the way 299 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,080 down their back and the second being just before the tail. 300 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,480 All their fins, excluding their pectoral fins are rather small 301 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:11,840 and that does include their tail. 302 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,080 Their tail is taller on the top than the bottom as they are 303 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,680 bottom dwelling fish and usually fish that have longer tails on 304 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,680 top are bottom dwelling as they want to make sure they're not 305 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,160 going to drag their tail along the floor which could cause 306 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,640 injury. And then of course that can 307 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,160 cause so many more complications. 308 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,920 So just a nice little evolutionary thing to help out. 309 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,760 Now they have 18 to 25 rows of teeth on their top jaw depending 310 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,160 on the individual and 14 to 24 rows on the bottom. 311 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,040 The pajama shark's teeth are shaped somewhat similar to a 312 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,240 frilled shark where they have a longer central cusp and they 313 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,440 will have two smaller cusps on either side which creates a Tri 314 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,360 cusp and tooth. Now, cat sharks tend to have 315 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,320 thicker skin as they are a smaller species of shark, thus 316 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,200 providing a little bit more protection. 317 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,400 The pyjama shark, being a cat shark, also has thicker skin, 318 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,000 which helps to protect against predators like crabs or other 319 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,880 smaller fish that can't bite them. 320 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,400 It doesn't help a whole lot, evidently, especially if larger 321 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,680 sharks are able to eat them and other large fish. 322 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,280 But you know, at least the crab that usually goes for things 323 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,360 that have already died won't eat them, so that's good. 324 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,200 Pyjama sharks are found around South Africa, especially the 325 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,880 southern tip. They like waters that are as 326 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,600 deep as 4 meters or 13 feet, so rather deep, but they do go much 327 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,280 deeper, about 50 to 100 meters or 160 to 330 feet. 328 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,600 They prefer rocky reefs as they can utilize caves, which are one 329 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,600 of their preferred habitats when hunting. 330 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,800 Pajama sharks tend to go for Bony fishes such as anchovy or 331 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,360 hogfish, smaller sharks and rays, as well as egg cases, 332 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,120 bivalves, cephalopods and crustaceans, which most sharks 333 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,440 do enjoy eating. Cephalopods and crustaceans, 334 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,960 I'm, I mean kind of just lump them all together in that one. 335 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,560 They are opportunistic feeders and will take advantage of 336 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,680 whatever they can get, including ripping off tentacles from an 337 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,720 octopus or cuttlefish, which I do believe both of those are 338 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,440 able to regenerate those tentacles. 339 00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:07,800 So it is rather kind of them to consider that it will grow back 340 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,440 before taking it. But they also are sort of 341 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,800 practicing sustainable food sourcing in that sense. 342 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,160 If it'll grow back, you can get it later again. 343 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,480 That's why you got to make sure you're doing sustainable fishing 344 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,319 anyway. That's dumb, but the pajama 345 00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:22,200 shark has been observed ambushing chaka squid during 346 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,000 mass spawnings as they like to hide among the rocky surface and 347 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,400 wait for the squid to descend to deposit its eggs on a rocky 348 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,880 surface on the reef. And then they go eat them. 349 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,320 Of course it's always hunt or be haunted because they are haunted 350 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,240 by broad nose 7 gill sharks and are that sharks preferred food 351 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,440 source. And that also made me realize 352 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,160 that I'm not sure why they made the saying a dog eat dog world 353 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,400 because you'd never really hear about dogs eating each other, 354 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,680 but you always hear about sharks eating each other. 355 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,600 And I mean they really can't stop eating each other except 356 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,240 for like the whale and basking sharks. 357 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,760 They kind of just chill and not a whole lot eats them. 358 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,440 So that's kind of neat. But pajama sharks are oviparous, 359 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,840 so egg laying they can lay 1 egg at a time. 360 00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:08,760 So there will only be 1 Bebe. Their eggs tend to be 9.5cm or 361 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,800 3.7 inches long and they have tendrils which are kind of like 362 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,640 these long strings that come off of them. 363 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,560 So that way Mama shark can anchor them to a rock or a plant 364 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,200 or something that won't allow it to be taken away by the current, 365 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,640 roll around or get damaged as easily. 366 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,720 Now these sharks do interact with humans rather frequently as 367 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,280 they tend to be in shallower waters and they look pretty, so 368 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,000 humans often want to see them. We also like catching them by 369 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,840 accident as bycatch and many fishers find them to be a pest 370 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,840 since they'll take bait right off the line. 371 00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:44,600 So usually they'll see them and then kill them on site, which is 372 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,360 rather messed up. But despite all this, they're 373 00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:50,200 listed as least concerned due to lack of evidence for population 374 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,520 decline, which this shark of course raised a huge question 375 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,720 for me. This shark inhabits such a small 376 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,160 area and only lays 1 egg at a time, which makes me wonder, 377 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,240 would they be more susceptible to rapid population decline 378 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,080 compared to other sharks as the blue shark covers pretty much 379 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,200 everywhere and it would take a lot to put a dent in their 380 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,920 population. Now, unfortunately, I don't have 381 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,640 an answer to that, so I might try to reach out to a couple 382 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,440 shark experts and see if any of them have a good answer for that 383 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,040 because I think that'd be a really interesting topic to talk 384 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,360 about. Yeah. 385 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,000 So that's what I have for the pajama shark. 386 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,240 Appreciate you guys checking in on that one too. 387 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,520 And of course, we have our final one. 388 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,000 Now, this one was actually requested quite a few times. 389 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,400 I think the most recent one was about 18 days ago. 390 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,760 So surprise, here it is. It's the spiny dogfish. 391 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,000 Now, spiny dogfish were one of the first sharks that I learned 392 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,000 lived in Maryland waters, which, fun fact, so do blue sharks. 393 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,680 So I always get a little bit excited when I see them on my 394 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,120 timeline or hear anyone talking about them or get a chance to 395 00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:49,760 see them anywhere. It's really cool. 396 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,240 They also make me think of Dogfish Head Brewery and their 397 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,480 60 minute IPA and Sequential because I just love them so 398 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:58,480 much. Dogfish Head. 399 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,040 If y'all are looking to sponsor a podcast, I'm available. 400 00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:03,800 Slide in these DMS. Kidding kind of. 401 00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:06,880 Land Shark's also acceptable. If there's any shark related 402 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,840 product that is looking to sponsor a podcast, hit me up. 403 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,040 We can make something happen. But anyway, spiny dogfish vary 404 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,320 in size depending on their gender, with males growing to be 405 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,560 about 24 to 35 inches or two to just under 3 feet, which is 406 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,600 about 70 to 100 centimeters or about a meter. 407 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,600 And I'm still trying to figure out why they used these smaller 408 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,560 measures as my brain hears 24 to 35 inches and thinks that's 409 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,840 rather small until I realize it's two to three feet. 410 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,800 And I'm like, it's like half a person noted. 411 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,720 Which is just kind of disrespect for the sharks as well. 412 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,160 But these guys are mostly grey. They do have white spots along 413 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,720 their back though. They have two smaller dorsal 414 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,760 fins on their back as well. The first is dead center and 415 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,280 almost looks a bit like a sail with its triangular shape. 416 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,680 The second sits closer to the tail, but not quite as close as 417 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,800 the pajama shark second dorsal fin, which is practically fused 418 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,120 with their tail now. Their caudal and pectoral fins 419 00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:05,040 are triangular as well, which is different from many sharks that 420 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,360 tend to have rectangular or box shaped caudal fins. 421 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,040 Both their dorsal fins contain a spine, hence the name spiny 422 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,120 dogfish. But of course, these spines 423 00:21:14,120 --> 00:21:16,200 aren't just there for decoration, they're used for 424 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,680 defense or to impale predators. They aren't done yet though, 425 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,360 because the spiny dogfish felt that stabbing those trying to 426 00:21:22,360 --> 00:21:25,120 eat them was not enough. They also have venom in these 427 00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:27,480 spines, which is just pretty hardcore. 428 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,320 Now, the venom is not lethal, but it will cause pain and can 429 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,720 cause a predator to think twice about trying to bite the shark 430 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,360 again in the future. Now, if humans are to be 431 00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:39,240 impaled, we could. Emphasis on could because it 432 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,120 varies by the individual. Experience intense pain, 433 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,240 swelling, and redness at the sting site. 434 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,320 Other options are impaired mobility, so difficulty walking, 435 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,520 dizziness, nausea, and abdominal pain, all of which can last for 436 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,360 a few days or weeks. Still can't kill you though, so 437 00:21:55,360 --> 00:21:58,160 that's pretty good. But the good news is that they 438 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,600 cover a very small area. And I lied again, they cover a 439 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,760 large area. They're found in coastal waters 440 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,120 of the eastern US and Canada, southern parts of South America. 441 00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:11,280 So around Chile, just around the tip to about South of Brazil, 442 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,280 the Mediterranean Sea, Europe including the UK, Spain, 443 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,520 Portugal, France, Sweden, Finland, Norway. 444 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,600 And then we also have southern Australia and all around New 445 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,440 Zealand. Now thankfully humans don't have 446 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,280 to worry about stepping on spiny dogfish or dealing with their 447 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,560 shark venom as they are bottom dwellers and typically reside 448 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:36,200 around 50 to 149 meters, which is 160 to 490 feet but can go 449 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,080 all the way down to 700 meters or 2300 feet. 450 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,920 Which side note, it is such a weird number to cut off the 451 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,680 first numbers at 149 meters or 490 feet, both for the shark if 452 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,600 they just don't go that extra like meter or scientists for 453 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,600 just not giving them that meter. But for accuracy sake, we'll 454 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,520 keep it right where it is. They do have some human 455 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,040 interaction as in Europe, America, Canada, New Zealand, 456 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:05,840 Venezuela and Chile, they are served as food, which after 457 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,120 looking at a picture of the dish, it doesn't look very 458 00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:09,200 appetizing. So like what? 459 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,080 What are we doing now? This funny dogfish is served 460 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,320 under a variety of names, including unwitting hound shark 461 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,280 in Greece, pus or rock salmon in fish and chip shops across 462 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,840 Europe, small salmon in France, and then it's sea eel in Belgium 463 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,720 and Germany. So it's sea space eel, not seal, 464 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,280 but sea eel. They aren't only eaten, though, 465 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,800 They're also used in fertilizer, liver oil and pet food. 466 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,280 Many countries have banned the sale and trade of dogfish for 467 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:41,040 the entire species or at least limit the numbers for sale. 468 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,360 Meanwhile others America have decreased regulations on fishing 469 00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:47,400 and drilling allowing for more sharks to be caught and sold. 470 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,000 Spiny dogfish like hunting impacts and are very social. 471 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,800 They've been counted in schools of thousands, which is one of 472 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,760 the largest schools of sharks I've heard of. 473 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,280 Now mind you, there could be another shark in larger 474 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,640 congregations, but for now I believe the spiny dogfish is in 475 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,640 the lead. Of course, correct me in the 476 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,680 comments if I'm wrong. I feel like some of y'all know 477 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,520 the podcast material better than I do, and I actually do love 478 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:10,360 that. That's pretty neat. 479 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,840 But little side note, I forget which factor episode it was on, 480 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,480 but someone commented on a detail I gave about a shark and 481 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,560 started along the lines of well you were kind of on the right 482 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,400 track and then provided the information which I thought was 483 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,560 super helpful. So that's of course why I have 484 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,040 correction corner at the beginning and I'm also more 485 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,960 interactive on Instagram and in the Discord as I do not know how 486 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:35,200 to reply on Spotify or Apple which is very boomer ask of me. 487 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,000 I'm working on it. But of course if you guys have 488 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,360 any questions or want to send any corrections, send them 489 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,120 wherever you can. I also have an e-mail you can 490 00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:44,080 send it there too. But spiny dogfish eat a variety 491 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,800 of invertebrates including shrimp, fish, crabs, jellyfish, 492 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,760 squid, and sea cucumber. Unless it's super old and 493 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,800 chilling in vinegar. Then it's a sea pickle. 494 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,800 Yeah, we're going to just end the entire podcast after that 495 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:57,760 joke. That was bad. 496 00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,640 That's just curtains on the entire thing. 497 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,480 I'm just kidding. Y'all are stuck with me. 498 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,240 So Spidey dogfish are ovoviviparous. 499 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,040 So that means the eggs hatch internally, but baby continues 500 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,520 to develop until it's ready to be birthed into a little shark 501 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,240 pup. Now, unlike every other animal, 502 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,840 this rather small shark has an insanely long gestation period, 503 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,600 typically lasting about 18 to 24 months. 504 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,720 And for reference, the typical rule is the larger the animal, 505 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,760 the longer the gestation period or the time that it takes to 506 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,040 make the baby. So elephants usually take a 507 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,320 while, about two years, while mice usually it takes about a 508 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,240 month. So spiny dogfish can give birth 509 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,960 to about 5 to 6 pups usually, but the numbers can vary. 510 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,160 They are listed as vulnerable under conservation status as 511 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,840 their numbers do well across most oceans, but they have had 512 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,880 some decline, especially in Europe where they were fished 513 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,120 into critical endangerment. But thankfully there are groups 514 00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:53,880 such as Greenpeace that come together to help advocate for 515 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,520 sharks and a given the spiny dogfish in particular a chance 516 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,080 to rebound, which their numbers have been doing pretty well. 517 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:05,120 Now that is exactly what I have for these spiny dogfish and for 518 00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:06,960 this episode. So I appreciate you guys 519 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,160 listening. I am going to try to get this a 520 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,880 little bit more routine. I appreciate y'all being here, 521 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,000 hanging out, chatting, just kind of interacting in general. 522 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,120 It's been a lot of fun comment DM your favorite shark fact. 523 00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:20,760 I might just share it Some of my favorites at the beginning of 524 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,480 the episode. Give us a five star rating or 525 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,360 tell me what you want me to see do different. 526 00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:27,640 Anything like that. I appreciate y'all being here. 527 00:26:28,120 --> 00:26:31,200 Be kind to each other and I will see you guys in the next one.
