Those wacky Germans had the idea to play love songs to sharks to get them into the mood. Sound insane? Think again, those water gliders can't get enough of it! Now shark babies may be coming.
Five Sea Life aquariums in Germany had seen a decrease in the sexual tensions of their shark tanks. The fishies just weren't up to par when it came to love.
Ananova
reports that the researchers there played two hours of love songs a day to see if the sharks would come together.
A spokesman said: "We tried everything else, and it didn't work, so we took a new approach. It has been tried with pandas and primates, and it worked with them as well, so why not sharks?"
The sharks have their favorites just like humans do. This week's top five list for the terrors of the sea are:
1. Salt'n Pepa - Push it
2. Joe Cocker - You can leave your hat on
3. James Last - Traumschiff (title song for German version of the Love Boat)
4. Justin Timberlake - Rock your body
5. Bob Marley - No woman, no cry
Not bad! You can leave your hat on is my personal favorite too!
