As you all know, it is Shark Week! One of the most important week's in television (because who doesn't love learning and being creeped out by some of the most powerful creatures on the planet?). In honor of Shark Week 2014 Jamie paired a shark tank with leather pants and spent some quality time at the water front.

Sharks are so powerful it's easy to forget that they are being killed at a faster rate than they can reproduce. Between 70 and 100 million sharks are being killed every year. Unfortunately they are an endangered species and have a high risk of going extinct. Part of what has allowed sharks to survive for so long is their slow reproduction rate and long life spans, but that is also part of what is killing them now. Sharks can live to about 70 years old and females normally don't start reproducing until age 15, frequently only having litters about once every year and a half. If you want to learn more about what can be done to save sharks, this is a great article by Discovery. And if you want to add a little shark love to your life, you can even adopt a great white shark!
