Brackets Daily has a tournament for Shark Week. What kind of shark is the best? Your votes could determine the outcome of the tournament! The Great White is the number one seed, but I'm pulling for the Goblin shark myself. You can pull up information on each of the 16 sharks before you select.
At the end of the 24 hr period (12:00 am EST) the votes are tallied and the winners move on to the next round. The 2nd round also lasts 24 hrs as do the semi-final and the championship round. It takes 4 days to complete a bracket. After each 24 hr period, you will be able to see the percentage of the vote each item received.
Vote in the first round today. Link -Thanks, Lucas!
The cookie cutter shark (Isistius brasiliensis) got that strange name from its habit of biting chunks of flesh from its prey by wrenching its body around in a circular motion after sinking its teeth into a fish too big to eat whole. Ouch! The cookie cutter shark reaches only around twenty inches in length, but has been known to bite into whales, submarines, and people. It has a small bioluminescent patch that fools other creatures into thinking it is a much smaller fish than it really is while the rest of the cookie cutter fish waits in the dark.
