Love songs for sharks

Scientists are playing romantic songs in German aquariums to try and get sharks in the mood for love.

All ten Sea Life aquariums in Germany are taking part in the project because they say the sharks have so far not produced enough offspring.

The sharks will be played romantic songs ranging from pop to reggae and even classical music twice a day for an hour.

Should the music therapy work, visitors to the aquariums will also get their money's worth as the mating ritual between sharks is spectacular. Male sharks pursue the female and even bite her fins.

The theme tune to Jaws is not included, but among the songs that will be played are 'Endless Love' by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross, and 'Let's Get it On' by Marvin Gaye.

After special requests from visitors, one aquarium has also added 'A Good Heart' by Feargal Sharkey and 'Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys.

if it works for the sharks i bet it will be come common to play romantic music for all animals in zoos and aquariums if they want them to mate

"look kids...! that monkey is making love..! .. hey, that elephants too....wait... why they all doing that ?? "

hahaha. pretty cool idea.

Ridiculous....maybe these sharks would rather mess around without a ton of people pressing their faces against the glass watching them...

"Let's Get It On" I KNEW that song was gonna be in there somewhere. It's classic baby-makin' music. Hahaha

Mabey they should try turning the lights down low and provide a little wine and dine atmosphere, and toss in a little shark porn for insperation too!

Why don't they just get them drunk?

I swear!
