Like they need any more reason to eat us.

Experts at the Loch Lomond Sea Life Centre in Balloch, Dunbartonshire, Scotland have decided that they want to pipe Christmas music into their shark enclosure and gauge the dozens of nurse sharks', black-tip reef sharks', and ray species' reactions. Focusing on pop holiday songs, — from Bing Crosby's White Christmas to Last Christmas by Wham! — the sharks' response is displayed through their body language. Signs of irritation or aggression can include making sharp turns, lowering their fin tips and swimming faster. Oh, and eating people.
Let's see how you react. Listen to samples of the two songs mentioned above. Do you now want to eat people?
