Here's how the contest works:
- Enter your caption or captions in the comment thread below.
- Patch will take captions through Sunday, July 15, and present a list of finalists in one screen grab on Monday, July 16.
- Winners will be selected with the help of Patch users. You will vote on your favorite caption through the "comments" section on this story (Example: I think No. 1 of 50 is the best).
More details about the contest are attached.
Here's some more quick facts about the aquarium's "Touch a Shark!":
- You can touch these sharks because they have teeth under their head, not out front like the 12-foot sand tiger sharks in the Aquarium’s open ocean exhibit.
- See baby sharks even before they’re born as they wriggle in their egg cases.
- Take your picture in a shark cage OR take your picture in front of giant megaladon (mega-la-don) jaws of an ancient shark that makes today’s great whites look like guppies.
