Happy hump day! It’s a drizzly one today.
Fact of the day:
Can Sharks swim backward?
Unlike fish, sharks cannot stop suddenly or swim backward. A shark’s pectoral fins cannot bend upwards like a fish, limiting its swimming ability to forward motion. If a shark needs to move backward, it uses gravity to fall, not swim backwards.
