No bears?

Bear sharks -Nod Nod-

Man! The things marine life will go through just for a strawberry ice cream cone. ;-)

They could have something that looks like a giant mousetrap, but is really a way to catapult people into the fish tank.

Catch of the day.

We went from the Wiley Bears to the Wiley Sharks. Sounds like a sports team, actually!

The Sharks are from San Jose, the Orca is a Canuck. Just need a giant squid (Kraken) in the tank and some Ducks floating on top for half the NHL Pacific Division.

It’s gotta be an outside job, because no way could the sharks get the noose out.

(the Wiley Bears are Bruins naturally but that’s the Atlantic Division)

Zoos have difficulty today to keep their budget for food.

This aquarium is designed with its residents in mind.

Step right up, suckers!

The aquarium must be trying to save some money on food costs.

Come a little closer ‘chum’!

Fun toon but the Orca is out of place considering they don’t eat people. They have killed a small number of us though due to our driving them insane in captivity. Based on that they definitely have reason to hate us, but they would prefer the shark’s liver to us on the menu.

Hello, chum!

No, thank you.

Just spit out the over-sized white sneakers. They get stuck in your multiple rows of teeth.

It’s a little early for shark week.

See. Now this is exactly where I see the whole AI fad taking us. Between Google GPS cliff jumping, Siri house sitting and ChatGPT lying to us, we cant help but weed out a few Darwin Award winners.

When I was a docent at the Bronx Zoo, our standard answer when kids would bang on the snake cages was, “what would you do if the glass broke?”

There’s no bait…

Suspension of disbelief…

Entree? He looks more like the appetizer to me

Wait for it!

this one is very very good

From what I’ve heard those sharks would not want to be around that orca.

I really get annoyed at people who bang on the glass. I think this is a great idea.

Just at a beach in Florida.

It does save on the cost of fish food for the aquarium.

If the sign were changed to “Trump needs you to bang on the glass”, we might be on the way to a solution to the MAGAtt problem.

In the same vein about reading things from the wrong side, I give you the world’s most dreaded dialog box:

The comedian Ron White on a certain “disaster” at Sea World—-

“Hello? They’re called KILLER Whales!”

LOL…………… whoooooooo, Wiley sharks. LUV it!!!

Reminds me of a book from my childhood or so in the 60s called “A Sporting Chance”. The basic idea waw that humans should only hunt wildlife with what they are given genetically. Teeth, flat nails, etc.

The sharks and orca can’t be too hungry – there’re lots of tasty fish in the aquariums (aquaria?) that they haven’t eaten. Yet.

Darwinian selection in action.

I’ve always wondered why sharks don’t eat the smaller fish they’re sharing the main tank with.

I like this. Unfortunately, it would grab little kids as well as the stupid adults.

Wiley sharks!
