#cookiecutter sharks attacking submarines walked so white gladis the orca sinking yachts could run

earth fact time. cookiecutter sharks took down nuclear submarines during the cold war!! they'd bite off chunks of the rubber around sonar domes and cause the oil to leak, blinding submarines and forcing them back for repairs. the americans thought it was some kind of secret soviet technology but actually, it was these little cat-sized, glow in the dark bitches that will bite anything that moves.
