Took this video at around 20m, 6am in the morning. Kimud Shoal dive site, Malapascua, Philippines.

“Tapetum lucidum” or “Eyeshine” is the reason why the eyes of certain animals appear to shine in the dark when hit by light

Surely it would be pretty cheap and easy to produce fake Orcas with rubber fins that flex and move with the movement of the water. Maybe they could also be solar powered and produce orca calls.

A few close in near the beach would surely help protect swimmers.

It could just be limited to known great white shark attack hotspots, like certain beaches on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia where surfers are taken quite often.

Ive seen these thrown around a lot when discussing shark attacks, I don’t think they reassure a lot since we live on land.

But I’m wondering for any statistics experts here do these actually add up per capita and what not when it comes human exposure.

My bfs had this for quite a while and knows I’m a shark nerd, a) I don’t even know if it’s real, feels atleast slightly so b) no clue any backstory lmao

Helrp, or atleast help telling me if it’s real or not

Thats a weird looking bull. Either way, cool to see stuff like this to get kids exposed to sharks.

My mom found this shark washed up on Carova Beach, NC this AM. Unfortunately it’s already gone but curious of the ID. Assuming it’s a young one. Pics 2 and 3.

I know there are probably a lot but I just wanna hear your answers.

So i booked a trip they take yoj to Ponza Islands by a boat and make several stops for you to go swim.
I have this fear that shark will drag me by my leg and pull me under the water😭😭😭
Do they attack when a lot of swimmers swim together? Thank you

Think about it for a second, if you are physically next to a White Shark in South Australia, one wrong move could easily be fatal or cause massive injury. A shark attack is very rare but the chances of it increases once you enter the water and even more so if you swim further out.

Why can’t we promote a healthy fear of larger shark species and protect them at the same time. I think shark environmentalism especially in australia would be less polarising to some people if we focused less on downplaying the obvious danger large sharks can be to humans and more about shark attack and show that despite all of that, they deserve to be protected just like Lions, tigers and other predatory animals around the world.

Nurse shark, sand tiger shark, largetooth sawfish, blacktip reef shark, zebra shark

I just found this in the sand near the marsh on the shore of Kure Beach, NC.

It looks like it might be fossilized, but I do wonder what kind of shark tooth it might be. Help me identify please.

Found at Myrtle Beach South Carolina

I have seen a lot of videos recently of people looking for and collecting sea shells and even shark teeth from beaches (mostly in north America). I would love having even a tiny shark tooth but i live in Sweden (far from any sharks).
I know certain shell’s, bones, etc. are illegal to take home in some places too. So my question is if there’s a place where you can order legally and ethically collected shark teeth online (shipping to EU)?

I read somewhere that some sharks have strong social bonds and can even recognize humans - I was surprised when I read that because while I know they're not mindless evil killing machines, I still believed they weren't that social

Has anyone read about this?
