think of it as one big hug. take on today and every day with a-a-r-p. this morning on in-depth today shark week. it's finally here. >> of course most of us would never, ever, ever dream of swimming with sharks. >> have a nightmare about that. >> our kerry sanders is not like a lot of people, he's at the oklahoma aquarium where this guy is about to get up close and personal with some bull sharks. kerry, good morning. >> well, good morning. i'm at the entrance in the tank into the tank with those bull sharks, 10 of them. we're doing this to dispel a myth. bulls are among the most aggressive in the world's oceans. the myth is they are out there searching for humans, looking to attack us. you'll see as i go in there that everything is going to be fine. the sharks may be interested in

me but nothing more than that i'll explain in a moment this strange suit i'm wearing but first let's look at the amazing creatures." for decades sharks have both intrigued and terrified us even if statistically we're more likely to die from a coconut falling on our heads. the blockbuster movie "jaws" gave them a bad rap. >> "jaws" was hard on sharks in general. it painted them as a monster. >> the deputy director at oklahoma aquarium, he says in reality sharks are not looking to attack us. >> it's not an attack. usually the bite is skpor tore. they are looking for food, hunting fish. >> those accidental attacks are more rare than you think. they happen on average 80 times a year worldwide. more than half of them take place in the united states and most of those in florida. although last week we saw two kids bitten by sharks off the

coast of new york's fire island, the attacks just a few miles apart and within an hour of each other. >> i could have lost a leg but i didn't. >> of the 465 known shark species living in our oceans today, the bull shark is one of the biggest and boldest. it's considered the third most dangerous after the tiger shark and the great white. it can grow as large as 500 feet long. the strength of a bite could break bones. as long as we leave them alone, experts believe they are not interested in eating us. >> we're not on the menu. they are really not a threat to us. >> or so i hoped since i'm now down here with bull sharks. >> well, guys, i'm down here. you can probably hear me breathing a little heavy, because this is -- this should not be scary but it is in my

mind, nonetheless. it's not something that you are used to. these guys, again, the third most aggressive. interestingly, i am the first person that they have allowed to come in here that doesn't work here. so it's a bit of a challenge. as i noted, i was going to tell you what i was wearing. this is chain mail, sort of like the knights of the roundtable from king arthur. i'm told if a shark decides to come bite me it won't be able to penetrate the suit. but in all likelihood, it may break a bone. if you want to know why i'm a little unsettled, there's paramedics on the top side there just in case. guys. >> kerry, can you see any of the sharks from where you are right now? >> i can. there's a couple behind me.

the sharks -- let's see. maybe they are afraid of me. it looks like they have gone to the back of the tank. one thing i was told by those that come into the tanks on a regular basis that the bubbles scare away the sharks. let me hold my breath and see if a shark comes by. >> that's a good idea. >> don't hold it too long. >> there's 10 bull sharks in here. i see two or three right over he here. let's see if they are turning back. i can see the sharks around. do you see them. >> we see them, kerry. >> you are -- we should point out to everybody you are a certified scuba diver, so you

know what you're doing down there. tell us what feeding time is like for those sharks. >> well, feeding time actually happens on the surface here at the tank. what they do is they drop the food in just a couple of times during the week and there is a lot of precautions that take place. just to give you an idea, allowing me into this tank, they only get in this tank themselves about once a month. that's just to clean the windows in the tank. so it is not common for people to get into this tank and for sharks to come by this close. but i'm feeling it. i'm feeling in my mind that i should be more -- i guess i feel like at this point that the sharks are not going to bother me but there's still in the back of my mind there's a concern

they may decide to get curious. >> wow, kerry, you're giving me some anxiety with that heavy breathing. thank you so much for showing us that. >> we appreciate that, kerry. wow. >> the whole section -- >> what about hoda saying feeding time. >> i feel bad. i didn't see the shark going right over. >> you can see the few sharks, bull sharks close to him we see on screen didn't look like he was turning his head too much. should you trade in your smartphone for old school flip phone. phone. we'll t
