Lin](/author/joseph-c-lin/) Aug 14, 2014 7:15 PM CUT 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/ "undefined"). 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 "undefined").” We have a feeling they are. > [](https://twitter.com/VerneTroyer/status/499599409727143936) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3108726/shark-week-dog-cats-babies-shark-costumes/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3108726/shark-week-dog-cats-babies-shark-costumes/"},"headline":"The People and Animals With the Best Shark Costumes for Shark Week","datePublished":"2014-08-14T19:15:41.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:12:26.555Z","description":"The outfits are so cute, we can only hope they live EVERY week like it's Shark Week","url":"https://time.com/3108726/shark-week-dog-cats-babies-shark-costumes/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Sharks","Television","animals","Photos","Shark Week"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"},{"@type":"Person","name":"Joseph C.
