Landlocked Mermaid

I have made a decision with Shark Experts. I am going to give my experts a shark to research and look up, it's up to them how they present the information. So without further waffle, here is what my favourite Shark Experts have to say about Lemon Sharks! From Addy: ✦Lemon Sharks have two dorsal fins of equal size on their back. ✦Lemon Sharks rarely attack humans. Only 10 attacks have been reported and none of them were fatal. ✦Lemon Sharks are mainly active during dusk and dawn. ✦Lemon Sharks spend their days sitting on the ocean floor whilst fish remove parasites from their skin. ✦Lemon Sharks are solitary but can occasionally be found in groups of up to 20 members. This provides safety against predators. ✦Female Lemon Sharks' pregnancy lasts 10-12 months and ends with 4-13 babies. ✦Lemon Sharks can survive up to 27 years in the wild. ✦Lemon Sharks are found from New Jersey to southern Brazil  in the western of the Atlantic Ocean. ✦Lemon Sharks sometimes feed on t...

This weekend we celebrated all the birthdays, maybe a little too much as original plans had to change due to over-tired party people. So this post was originally going to be a fun video of us making fools of ourselves at the Crocky Trail. However, we ended up not going so maybe another video. We did have some fun playing frisbee at the local cricket ground. Getting ready to throw. Running to fetch the frisbee. Thumbs up from Addy. I thought I'd take this opportunity to introduce the new and improved Sharks @ 7 & 3/4. The kids thought it was high time the name changed, especially as Dylan is nine now! (Jeez, that makes me feel old.) So starting next month, the kids and I will be bringing you... SHARK EXPERTS! Each month, I will give the kids a mission. It will be their task to complete the mission and film their efforts. I will put together what they find and share it here, a lot like the last few videos on Sharks @ 7 & 3/4. The kids alway...

This month, I have asked the kids to show me on Dylan's world map where some of the sharks they have drawn for me live. Here are their findings: I'm sure Dylan meant to point at the correct America! This will be the last episode of Sharks @ 7 & 3/4, but fear not my favourite shark experts will be back in July with a new name! Dylan pointed out that at nearly nine, we cannot keep calling the segment 7 & 3/4. So we are having a month off and will be back with new videos from July. All of the old videos are still available on YouTube and this channel, to watch to your heart's content.

For this video, I decided to do something a little bit different. I left my favourite shark experts a mission. My partner and I have an aquarium. It's a small affair with five fish and two shrimp inside. But my partner, being who he is, wants to make something a little more epic. So we are currently in the process of building an aquarium which will feature a land mass, a waterfall, a cave, some dinosaurs, and, of course, some sharks.  This is where the mission comes in. I want to know the sharks in my tank a little better. So their mission: Find out four facts about each shark and film their findings.  Here is what they got! I just want to point out, they researched and filmed everything. (And still did a better job than me, their sister with a media degree!) Do you know any facts about these four sharks? Share below!

I am back with everyone's favourite shark experts! This time we play Addy vs Dylan: Pictionary. They didn't playing for doughnuts today, just for fun. And it was a lot of fun! Enjoy roughly ten minutes of chaos.

The new episode or Sharks @ 7 & 3/4 is live! Watch Addy and Dylan, my favourite shark experts, go head to head in a quiz about the hunting styles of the Wobbegong, Goblin and Megamouth Sharks. What were they playing for? A doughtnut - the best of prizes. The game was simple. After drawing a picture of each shark, I posed them nine questions. All they had to do was show me the shark they thought was the answers. With nine points to play for, whoever had the most won the doughnut. Find out what happened below: And because their pictures are so beautiful, here they are close up. Left: Dylan's. Right: Addy's.
