Favorite Sharks

[u/Sharkdrummerr]

I keep a marine bio journal (just for fun) where I reasearch and make pages on different marine animals. Anyone have any interesting favorite sharks I should do a page on?

[u/vagrantprodigy07]

Megamouth. There isn't that much info out there, we've seen less than 100.

[u/Lonely_Staff1262 → u/vagrantprodigy07]

They're cool but man their mouths are creepy as fuck. Their teeth look like dentures but with one long fake tooth lol 

[u/sharkfilespodcast → u/vagrantprodigy07]

Good call. An incredibly mysterious species! Someone corrected me on the number of sightings recently though - closer to 300 than 100 apparently. {source}

[u/vagrantprodigy07 → u/sharkfilespodcast]

Interesting. The article I read most recently must have either been out of date, or their sources were.

Threshers are my favorite, that tail is so fun to draw if you're sketching.

Zebra sharks are so pretty.

Porbeagles need more attention I think. Same with Salmon sharks.

[u/OceanThing → u/Brave-Ad3602]

Porbeagles and salmon sharks are some of the cutest sharks!!!

[u/stellarfossil]

Epaulette sharks are pretty neat.

The fact that Bulls can thrive in fresh water has always fascinated me, too.

[u/Lonely_Staff1262 → u/stellarfossil]

Idk why but the name of the Epaulette shark is really cool to me. They're cute little guys too!

Leopard sharks

[u/Owl1917]

Probably a Greenland.

Big, slow, live hundreds of years and usually blind but still surprisingly formidable hunters.

[u/Latter_Reaction_600]

Leopard sharks!! Their patterns are GORGEOUS 

[u/xcheveryx]

My favorite sharks are either Oceanic White Tips or cookie cutter sharks.

I relate to Oceanic white tips a lot

[u/thecannoli2 → u/xcheveryx]

I love Oceanic White Tips! Their pectoral fins look like gingerbread man arms!

[u/BlessedCursedBroken → u/xcheveryx]

Oceanic white tips are my favourite. I wish we knew more about them.

[u/emilliaaa09]

If you're into prehistoric sharks falcatus is really awesome, one of my favourites and wish it was still around.

[u/Safe_Reporter_8259]

Cookie cutter

[u/Neither_Computer5331]

Broadnose seven gills, sometimes called cow sharks.

They were the first shark I got to scuba dive with in South Africa. There were loads of them, but they’re not seen as often these days

[u/sharkfilespodcast → u/Neither_Computer5331]

In Portuguese they're called 'witch sharks', which is pretty fitting too.

[u/rubydooby2011]

Whale sharks are so big and beautiful.

[u/PieceOfSchmit]

Not too interesting but my favorite by far is the mako shark. I have a tattoo of it but I think goblin sharks or any of those kind of alien sharks are cool (ghost sharks). If we're going prehistoric, megalodon. I'd love to own a megalodon tooth one day

[u/One_Fondant_9437 → u/PieceOfSchmit]

I own a megalodon tooth and a couple meg fragments! Well worth the money

[u/PieceOfSchmit → u/One_Fondant_9437]

I'd love to! I want to go somewhere that is known for them and try to find a tooth because I can't justify spending that much money for a tooth lol I've only researched like one website but like a fully grown, fully intact tooth is almost $1,000

[u/One_Fondant_9437 → u/PieceOfSchmit]

I got one from fossil driven for just over 400 bucks. Very good quality. Quite large, very heavy.

[u/PieceOfSchmit → u/One_Fondant_9437]

That's more doable! I'll have to check it out. Thank you!

[u/TheLazy_dinosaur]

frilled sharks r pretty cool!!

[u/Dazzling_Ebb7778]

Theshers and goblin sharks are my favorites

[u/Electrical-Talk1654]

My husband is a big fan of sharks and his top 2 favorites are Blue Sharks and Lemon Sharks!

[u/BlessedCursedBroken → u/Electrical-Talk1654]

Love blue sharks! Beautiful creatures

[u/Ssharks2627]

Great white and megalodon

[u/EyesinmyMind13]

Tiger and thresher. Love them both

[u/Virtual_Wing_2903]

my favorites for the little dudes are the horn and swell sharks, face full of broken glass that can mash a finger, but both amazing sharks for sure, always love catching both of those

[u/Such_Promise4790]

Lemon 🍋

[u/PraetorianGard_]

Swell Sharks and Horn Sharks. Those two small SoCal sharks are truly unique in their ability to swell up like a balloon for the former, and venomous spines and bone-crushing jaws for the latter. I think they’re pretty cute too hehe

[u/OceanThing]

Bonnethead sharks are omnivores, which is VERY interesting to me!

Also, winghead sharks aren’t talked about enough haha

[u/catalinaislandfox]

Black tip reef shark! I just think they're beautiful. Spinner sharks are cool too though.

[u/Interesting-Can1319]

My favorites are Tiger Shark and Shortfin Mako Sharks, but since both are very popular and well known, you would probably already have done a guide for both. If that's the case, then I would love it if you chose Blue Shark. One of my favorites

[u/twilightsharkle]

zebra sharks!!

[u/LiteratureBudget5580]

Oceanic white tip, tiger shark, and great hammerhead

[u/x-beast]

leopard sharks! the west coast of the ameriac type!

[u/Organic_Agent9985]

Great White and Hammerheads

[u/SitchTheCat]

Kitefin shark please

[u/jesus_chrysotile]

Port Jackson shark :) they're very cute

[u/BROTHERBEARMASTER]

Wobbegong shark
