The bonnethead is quite attractive in a lethal hammerhead kind of way. But no matter how attractive these three ladies were, none of them had ever been on a date. You see they lived in a tank, in a zoo. The closest male sharks were, well, unavailable. Sharks, like chickens, can produce unfertilized eggs and sometimes do so perhaps in silent protest at not being allowed to date.

The Flood not only destroyed everything on the land ( Genesis 7:22 ), but also great numbers of marine organisms.  After the Flood, however, with the vastly enlarged oceanic environments available, the surviving marine organisms quickly spr
