One day that tiny baby will be a big shark able to rip people to shreds
most blacktip reef sharks are no more than 5.5ft long when mature. not only that, blacktip reef sharks are timid and shy, with no fatal human attacks documented. don’t comment stuff like this on my posts, save it for another post and stay off mine. thanks
There is lots of prehistoric sharks, including some that haven’t even been discovered yet! Megalodon is the most commonly known prehistoric shark, but there are lots of others.
Prickly dogfish (Oxynotus bruniensis). Look at this idiot.
Prickly dogfish are actually sharks, and we actually know very little about this species. Like, for instance, why their skin is so rough as to look furry. We do know these guys are one of the few sharks that give live birth! They’ve been found gestating up to seven pups at a time.
They live, somewhat appropriately, in the “Twilight Zone” (Mesopelagic Zone, 200-1000 meters below the surface) off the shores of Australia and New Zealand.
but don’t let the name fool you, like all sharks the prickly dogfish is smooth as hell
There’s this video of a lil baby whale shark following scuba divers around because she thinks the bubbles emitted from their air tanks were plankton like I’m so proud of her.
Take an elasmo-break with our Shark Cam! Watch for sevengill sharks, leopard sharks, spiny dogfish and more as they cruise through the rocky reef in our Monterey Bay Habitats exhibit. 🦈🌊👀
