The fact that fish live only in the water make them different from all other animals.
The RIGHT Way to Care for Betta Fish
Ah, the betta fish; the fish that everyone seems to have but no one seems to be able to take care of properly. Known as “hardy” and “easy to take care of,” they are quickly becoming the more popular choice of an easy fish now that most people are aware that goldfish should not last two weeks but rather 25 years.

Shark Attacks
According to the International Shark Attack File, there are less than 1000 attacks a year by sharks on humans and only between 10 and 15 of these results in death. To put this into perspective, 1,000 are killed by crocodiles, 1,500 by tigers, leopards and lions and 60,000 from being bitten by a snake. According to the Florida Museum of Natural History, people kill between 20 and 30 million sharks a year in sport and commercial fishing, putting some species of shark on the endangered list.

Ocean Habitats
From microscopic plankton to the largest whale, the ocean has a greater variety of plants and animals than any other environment in the many different habitats it provides. Because our planet looks blue from outer space it has earned the nickname “the blue planet." 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water and 96% of this water is salt water making up the oceans that cover the planet all merging into each other to form the biggest habitat on earth.

Cow Sharks
Little is known about the mysterious cow shark as it spends most of its life in secret living in the deepest, coldest, darkest parts of the ocean well below the depth most divers reach. Some species, however, do come up to shallow water to give birth and to feed at certain times of the year.

Why We Need to Stop Killing Sharks
Sharks are boss ass creatures. Despite being just necks with teeth and fins, they are pretty much the only reason we as humans are still alive. Let me explain. Sharks are the top of the ocean's food chain. Nothing in the ocean looked at a shark and said, "You and me fucker, let's go." They don't sleep and most types never stop swimming. So ya, they're menacing as fuck. And I'm sure that's why humans decided that they needed to die.
