pet a shark

Did this at Sea World in Orlando last summer. It was only a little one so not too scary! Their skin is a bit rough which surprised me, I thought it would be smooth and kind of slimy like a fish skin? There was a whole group of us that went on a behind the scenes tour round the shark area, and it was interesting. I wouldn’t have the guts to swim with them (don’t like being underwater) but petting one in a small tank worked out ok.
