It's Shark Week at Scarborough Sealife and Marine Sanctuary.


In support of European Shark Week, Scarborough Sea Life Centre the team will be introducing a brand new talk for the week with amazing facts about sharks.


""Most people don't know a great deal about sharks so we will tell them some great fishy facts including that a sharks sense of smell is so good, they can detect one drop of blood in an olympic sized swimming pool"" said Displays Curator Lyndsey Crawford.


Visitors will also get the chance to see a daily shark target feeding demonstration and children will be able to test their knowledge and take part in a special shark quiz trail.

""At SEA LIFE we are passionate about the protection of all marine animals and want to really shout about how fantastic these creatures are. Sharks have been around longer than dinosaurs so we need to protect them"" said Lyndsey.SEA LIFE actively takes part in the UK Shark Tagging Programme and is dedicated to raising money through their Shark SOS campaign.
