Do sharks like Christmas music?
Well scientists are going to test this theory to see if they can recognize the meoldies of some Christmas favourites. Nurse Sharks, Black-tip Reef Sharks and Ray species will all be tested, as music is played through underwater tunnels and scientists can see their reactions.
Experts will then monitor the sharks' reactions to different songs. We'll play everything from Kim Wilde and Mel Smith's Rocking Around the Christmas Tree and Merry Christmas Everybody by Slade to Wham's Last Christmas. We may find they prefer something softer like White Christmas by Bing Crosby," Brown said.
What music do you think sharks might like?

If you are ever in a situation where your life depends on singing a Christmas carol to a reef shark, then it may already be too late.

Perhaps not if you get the right Christmas Carol... A lively rendition of 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing' could be incredibly uplifting I think.

Very Interesting. I will not try to find out though.
