As piranha owners in here, a lot of us have a bizarre attraction to aggressive fresh water fishes (piranhas, snakeheads, etc.)
One thing I have always been facinated by is the great white and mako sharks. If i was to ever become a multi billionaire and could afford me make a setup (and if they come up with technology to allow one to be in captivity) I would do it.
I say technology because when kept in captivity, they bang there heads against the walls, but they are making devices to send out a "signal" keeping them from doing it. Who knows someday it might be successful.
But what do you guys think of these awesome predators? They are so cleverly designed:
1) multiple rows of teeth which is constantly replaced and can be done so in as little as 24 hours
2) light on the belly and dark color on the top (clever camoflague) if your looking up, hes got the white belly, if you looking down, hes dark.
3) there eyes have a special lid that can be used to protect it, so they dont have to blink and have protection when feeding.
4) cartilage- strong, flexible, lightweight
The list continues, feel free to add to it. But this is so awesome!
Too bad those freshwater sharks you buy at walmart are nothing like it. I think they are more like a catfish when they get bigger, lol.
