A SHARK'S FOOD OF LOVE IS MUSIC!!

SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS AROUND THE WORLD TOO

They might have a reputation as being fearsome killing machines but when it comes to music, even the ocean's ultimate predator appreciates a decent tune.

Yes, a new study by German scientists has discovered that playing certain music to sharks gets them in the mood for mating, the Daily Mail reported.

A group of five sea life aquariums in Germany took part in the mood-music experiment as part of a project to try and encourage their sharks to mate. The experiment was launched because of a slowdown in the breeding of sharks in captivity. The aquariums played music to the sharks in water for two hours a day for four weeks. Each played a different title, from classical to rock and hip-hop. Even staff and visitors were asked to watch the behaviour of the sharks.

After four weeks, scientists found that music indeed created a positive effect on the libido of the sharks by encouraging some of them to mate. "We tried everything else and it did not work, so we tried a new approach," the daily quoted a spokesperson for the group as saying. "It has been tried with pandas and primates and it worked with them as well, so why not sharks?" he asked.

The aquariums have now produced a top five of shark mood music. On the top is Salt-N-Papa's Push It, followed by Joe Cocker's You Can Leave Your Hat On, James Last's Traumschiff, Justin Timberlake's Rock Your Body and Bob Marley's No Woman, No Cry.
