Shark alert! Go to the Houston Museum of Natural Science where there are sharks in the basement.
More bizarre is a large wall display that carefully quizzes visitors on how sharks are rarely dangerous and almost never attack. On the opposite wall is set of screens with signs that say not to tap on the glass. I, in the interest of journalism, tapped on the glass until a CGI shark rammed the display and made me scream loud enough that museum officials came to see if I was okay.
Finally, there is a touch tank in the back where visitors can run two fingers along the backs of bamboo or epaulette sharks. Stephanie Bradbury, head of animal programing, was on hand, and we discussed what she learned since the last time the museum had a shark touch tank.
