Houston: The Concrete Jungle, Not the Coral Reef
First off, let’s get one thing straight: Houston is not exactly known for its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters. It’s more of a concrete jungle kind of place. So, the chances of bumping into a Great White while commuting to work are about as likely as finding a unicorn riding a unicycle.
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.
Sharks in the Bayou City?
Now, there are some waterways in Houston, like the Houston Ship Channel and Galveston Bay. And yes, these bodies of water do play host to a variety of aquatic life. But fear not, beach lovers! The sharks that call these waters home are typically smaller, less intimidating species. Think more bonnethead shark than Jaws.
