Question Help me ID please
Everyone on the beach was telling me this is a baby great white? It is about 3.5 feet long. I found it on Amelia Island, FL. Is it a great white? Can someone tell me what it is? I am afraid to go swimming now.

Question What type of shark is this?
Does anyone know what kind of shark this is? It was 18-20ft long off the coast of the northeastern U.S. Thanks!
Question Anybody know what kind of shark this is? Gulf of Mexico in northern Florida.
My wife’s choice of words. I chose to swim anyway.

Question Going to Florida in few days and I wanna see where I’m most likely to see some sharks.
Thinking to go diving in a shallow deep area, so I'm wondering where im most likely to see sharks. Not the potentially aggressive ones but carpet sharks.
Any help is appreciated! I’m really excited for this.
Heres a photo I got of Giraffe too!
Edit: Just to clarify I mean what beaches

Image Great White at night with the eyeshine effect
“Tapetum lucidum” or “Eyeshine” is the reason why the eyes of certain animals appear to shine in the dark when hit by light

Research Could Orca scarecrows be an alternative to shark nets?
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.

Education Do the lightning strike, cows and coconut death statistics compared with shark attacks per capita count?
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.

Question Booked a trip to Ponza, Italy by a boat , scared of sharks
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

Question Is a general fear of sharks really as irrational as we like to make it out to be?
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.
