"Baby Shark" is a children's song that narrates the story of a family of sharks. While it is widely enjoyed as a campfire song, its popularity surged globally starting in 2016 through social media, online videos, and radio broadcasts. The song's origins trace back to a campfire chant or children's rhyme. Some sources suggest it is rooted in traditional mythologies, while others propose it emerged in the early 20th century among campers. Additionally, some believe that camp counselors may have developed the song inspired by the film *Jaws*. In its typical form, "Baby Shark" is performed as a campfire song where each family member of sharks is introduced through distinct hand motions. Over time, various versions have depicted the sharks hunting fish, attacking sailors, or even causing harm to people, who then ascend to heaven. Several organizations have copyrighted original videos and sound recordings of the song, and some have trademarked merchandise based on their own interpretations. Nevertheless, it is generally believed that the original song and its original characters are in the public domain.
