    New Sixgill Shark Theory

    Researchers have been studying the mysterious sixgill sharks in the coastal waters of British Columbia, Canada for quite some time. They can't figure out why a shark who normally lives thousands of feet deep comes up to diving depths for a few months of the year. We know that they aren't breeding or feeding, so what are they doing?

    I recently heard the best theory going - It's their yearly decompression phase.

    Well you know when you turn around and look at a 6'-10' shark a few feet from you, you tend to wonder what he likes to eat, and you pray you don't taste/look like chicken....

    Was face to face with a couple of large (6'-7') bullsharks, and I don't recall wondering what they wanted to eat, however the first thought in my mind was "I hope I DON'T look like something they like to eat!"
