How a Little Shark Destroyed the US Navy

Hey guys hope you enjoyed this short video between projects! I had a lot of fun learning about the cookiecutter sharks and its related species as well as our relationship with the ocean itself. My apologies for the crappy microphone this episode (I was travelling). See you guys again sometime soon :) Background music: “An Evening A Lifetime” by Twin Musicom (twinmusicom.org) Video Clips used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dqn9l_oOXo Citations: Hoyos-Padilla, M.; Y.P.
