Shark Week But Cute: Sharks That Will Make You Say 'Awww' Instead of 'Aaahhhh'
Remember Shark Week, where every year there'd be a week of TV that focused solely on sharks and how "deadly" and "bad*ss" they were? Well, this week is a different, and we think better, week about sharks: Kiss a Shark Week! Yes, sharks have a downright bad reputation as mean and scary…but really, they're just cute li'l sea creatures who love pets and always have a smile. Okay, fine, some of them are not so small. But our point stands.
As it turns out, lots of sharks actually like playing with humans and getting attention and love from them. Also, they have adorable faces and are sooo cute as babies. So, here are some adorable sharks for your enjoyment. There's also some fun shark facts, and maybe you'll learn about a species of shark you've never heard of! There's lots of different types of shark, but they all have cuteness to offer.

That's a Boat, Silly!
Don't worry, Australia isn't really trying to kill you…or at least not the sharks there. This guy just seems a little confused as to why his prey (a boat) isn't bothered by his strong teeth! In the video, we here a very amused Australian man ask the shark "what're ya doin', mate?" The shark's too embarrassed that people saw him to stick around, and immediate swims away!

Hawaii Bans Shark Fishing
This year Hawaii became the first US state to ban all types of shark fishing. That applies to every species of shark. If it's in Hawaiian waters, it's off-limits! This is a big step for the protection of marine life, and hopefully other ocean states will follow suit. Save our shark friends!

Basking Shark
As it turns out, "basking" is a double entendre! Yes, this shark is sunbathing, but Basking Sharks are also a species of shark. They're found all over the world in temperate waters, and are particularly important to Irish and Norwegian fishing history. Luckily no one is fishing them anymore! You can learn more about them and how to help protect them at the Irish Basking Shark Group.

Newborn Zebra Shark
In this video, a woman helps a baby Zebra shark out of its egg! She explains that sharks often have trouble hatching themselves, so help from professional humans who know how to do this safely is most welcome. She tells us that the Zebra shark is an endangered species. The little shark pup is so small that it fits in a tupperware! But he'll grow up to be big and strong…and still very cute, of course.
