And with the last day of Shark Week, I bring you one of my all-time favorite sharks, the Oceanic Whitetip, with some pilot fish companions. Again, this is for Again, this is for devlexuswolf's Shark Week Sketch Jam on DA.

Tsk tsk, two days late on my behalf. FOR SHAME. Oh well, things got in the way. At least this way Shark Week lasts a wee bit longer, right? I'm sad it has to end at all! I'm looking forward to next year's jam already.

I had to copy this from Wikipedia, it's adorable:
_{"While pilot fish can be seen with all manner of sharks, they are said to prefer accompanying the oceanic whitetip, Carcharhinus longimanus.The pilot fish's relationship with sharks is a mutualist one; the pilot fish gains protection from predators, while the shark gains freedom from parasites. It was often said by sailors that sharks and pilot fish share something like a "close companionship"; there were even tales of this fish following ships which had captured "their" shark for up to six weeks and showing signs of distress in its absence."}
