Shark Week Blimps
Have you spotted one of the two Shark Week Blimps? It would be hard to miss a massive shark blimp in the sky, so keep your eyes open!

Use the tags #WestShark or #EastShark with your post.
Shark Week 2022
This year, Shark Week starts July 24th, and we can’t wait! Discovery has yet to release a full schedule of the new shark content, but we know it will be good. To get the shark fans taking, they have released their Shark Week Blimps. Those that don’t know about Shark Week will get curious when they see a massive shark hovering in the sky. These blimps are 128 feet long and 44 feet high. It’s tough to miss them!
So, what’s the deal with these two Shark Week Blimps? Discovery is looking to see who is a bigger Shark Week fan! Does the East coast love sharks more than the West? The Shark Blimps will be flying over different areas on various days to find out. The full schedule of the flying sharks can be found below.
