Where did "Shark Valley" get its name?

"Wildlife seen in Shark Valley include alligators, ibis, Wood storks, spoonbills, raccoons, deer, lizards, snakes and herons."

I would have expected a shark observation tower!

The valley the slough is in is part of the shark river..

Due to the cold weather we are hibernating.

I went divin on the other coast last weekend. Saturday and Sunday. It wasnt very productive for hunting but being in the water was AWESOME! In the last few minutes of one dive I got a nice close encounter with a LARGE hammerhead! Too bad my buddies time was already up, he missed it! LOL

Bill how many times do we have to tell you to stop diving drunk?

LOL... dolphins? I thought all fish that looked like sharks were "dolphins"

You've been hanging with "Betty" for a while now, it's starting to show.

It was the first hammerhead I have seen underwater but not the first I have been swimming with! I was not drunk........ No whale sharks, no dolphin on this trip.
I did see a giant gag, but with the season still closed I had to watch him swim away peacefully!
