50 Shark Puns to Sink Your Jaws Into

Let’s have a whale of a time with some puns and jokes about our cold-blooded friend, the shark.

Sharks came into existence around 400 million years ago and come in all different sizes. The film ‘Jaws’ shows sharks as blood-seeking predators. In fact, sharks are more fascinating and complicated creatures than we imagine. 

Actually, sharks bite people out of curiosity or to defend themselves from danger.  They also might confuse a human with prey.

Sharks swim to keep from sinking and they are known for their speed in the water. They can swim 32–48 kilometers per hour which is the speed of a car driving through town.  

So have ‘fin’ with these 50 shark puns and hook a few more.
