The Untold Truth Of Shark Week

Sharks: these relics from a prehistoric age have terrified and fascinated humanity in equal measure since time immemorial. With their beady little eyes, rows of huge, jagged teeth, and ability to literally smell blood in the water, sharks are an existential terror made real. And that's exactly why we all love Shark Week so much!

Since debuting in 1987, Discovery Channel's annual Shark Week festivities have brought sharks into the pop culture mainstream. Building off the success of the Jaws franchise, Shark Week has taken a more documentary look at these magnificent creatures. Well, except for the megalodon and Michael Phelps fiascos. But is Shark Week lying to us about how dangerous sharks really are? Here's the untold truth of Shark Week.
