Today, SeaWorld Orlando became a virtual classroom as more than 157,000 students from more than 3,500 schools from across the nation interacted with a National Geographic filmmaker and a SeaWorld shark expert. The live webcast and Q-and-A session took place in front of a backdrop of dozens of sharks at the park’s Shark Encounter attraction.

Impress trick-or-treaters, friends, neighbors and random people with your equally random trivia knowledge of these “scary” animals:

Like creatures from a horror movie, moray eels each have two sets of jaws— both with needle-like teeth.

SeaWorld plunges guests into the realm of the shark as part of the parks most daring animal interaction program, Sharks Deep Dive. Participants don wetsuits and a Sea Trek helmet which allows participants to breathe and communicate underwater without scuba equipment- during their close encounter with more than 30 sharks and an array of fish.

It's Shark Week on the Discovery Channel, so take a bite out of some of these shark tidbits:

Busch Gardens Tampa donated 10 koi and 12 tilapia on July 15 to St. Joseph's John Knox Village in Tampa, a retirement community only a few miles away from the Tampa theme park.

“We have an abundance of the fish, and we were happy to share the surplus with our neighbors at John Knox Village,” said Mike Boos, vice president of zoological operations at Busch Gardens.

Dads come in all shapes, sizes, colors and breeds. Learn more about a few of our favorite fathers of the animal world.

Of course, the highlight of a day at Discovery Cove is an up-close experience with an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin. However, there's so much more to explore -- hand-feeding tropical birds, meeting exotic small mammals, and snorkeling among thousands of fish, rays and sharks.
