The Discovery Channel announced
Shark Week each summer by
decorating its headquarters in Silver
Spring, Maryland, with a giant
inflated White Shark. Head, tail,
and pectoral fins stuck out from the
building’s back, front, and sides.
The head is about three stories high.
Despite its size, it is apparently
modeled after a juvenile White Shark
because the upper as well as the
lower jaws contain the slender teeth
characteristic of fish-eating juveniles
(see inset).Photos by Gene Helfman
