In case you were unaware, it’s officially Shark Week, Discovery Channel’s annual deluge of shark-related programming. Some people — like, for example, scientists who actually know things about sharks — are not super into this annual sharkstravaganza, claiming that it [peddles fiction disguised as fact](http://www.thewire.com/culture/2014/08/scientists-say-shark-week-is-dead-in-the-water/376040/). But others — you know, the rest of us plebs who just thinks sharks are super awesome — are still pretty into the whole thing.

And so, we’d like to take a moment to pay tribute to the especially die-hard Shark Week fans: the people (and animals) who’ve dressed up like sharks to mark the occasion. We can only hope that these folks are truly taking to heart that age-old advice to “[live every week like it’s Shark Week](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8NxtL-oLm4).” We have a feeling they are.
