In today's world of social sharing, you'd have to be living under a rock to not know it's everyone's favorite week of television- Shark Week on the Discovery channel.  People just can't get enough of those terrifying shark specials!

While the shore is just a short drive away from Bucks County, a lovely stretch of New Jersey stands in between us and any possible contact with sharks. Still, there are a few ways to get your shark fix if you live in Bucks…

1) How about a little light reading at one of the amazing Bucks County libraries? Use their super simple online catalog to find books that you're interested in. Did you know that in the summer of 1960, so many sharks were reporting in the Delaware River that the Delaware state police patrolled river beaches? You would if you read Shark Attacks: Their Causes & Avoidance by Thomas B. Allen.

2) Take the short drive to the local aquarium in Camden. What better way to celebrate Shark Week than a trip to Adventure Aquarium,  home to the most impressive shark collection on the East Coast!  Megalodon, the largest shark that ever lived, is paying the aquarium a visit through Sept. 3. See a seriously impressive collection of sharks in their 550,000-gallon Shark Realm Exhibit, where you can walk through a suspended 40 ft Shark Tunnel for close up views of the sharks.   See Sand Tiger and Sand Bar Sharks, Nurse Sharks, Silky Sharks, Black Nosed and Black.  You can even TOUCH some of the smaller shark species. SHARK WEEK PROMO: Wear a shark fin on your head (creativity encouraged!) and get $2 off the price of admission!

3) Check out the Bucks County Sharks semi-professional Rugby Team! Founded in 1997, the sharks have steadily been making a name for themselves on the U.S, rugby circuit.  In fact, the Sharks have several players that have represented America in the past- The United States National Team, the “Tomahawks”.  These guys might not bite, but you can bet they are fierce!
