Booty tunes for sharks.

From Ananova:

Sharks in the mood for love

German scientists say an experiment to play romantic music to sharks to get them in the mood for mating has been a swimming success.

Five Sea Life aquariums in Germany took part in the project after they complained that the sharks were not producing enough offspring.

Now after four weeks and two hours a day of different songs in each aquarium, the romantic tunes have had the desired effect.

And the aquariums have even produced a top five of the shark's favourite music for other aquariums to use.

A spokesman said: "We tried everything else, and it didn't work, so we took a new approach. It has been tried with pandas and primates, and it worked with them as well, so why not sharks?"

The music encouraged the sharks to engage in the rarely seen mating ritual where the male shark pursues the female and bites her fins.

The Hit list was:

1. Salt'n Pepa - Push it

2. Joe Cocker - You can leave your hat on

3. James Last - Traumschiff (title song for German version of the Love Boat)

4. Justin Timberlake - Rock your body

5. Bob Marley - No woman, no cry

I see a LEVIATHAN mix tape in our future...
