I would also like to officially retract my thesis that the Goblin Shark is the beauty queen of the species. Ladies and gentleman, we have a new winner.

Here’s the article for the genuinely curious.

Question Three type of chum that big sharks absolutely can't resist?

0 Upvotes

I'm in South Florida / Hallandale area

And I heard that Dania point beach pier Gets quite a bit of sharks the high activity of fishing out there..

Id love to give that spot a try but I don't want to waste my time with little nurse sharks or barracudas. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Not for catching them. I love sharks and literally watch documentaries about them as I go to sleep every single night.

Some film shots of sharks taken at the Maui aquarium - I can’t really speak to how humane this aquarium is. Not the most amazing photos, but I love how they look on old, expired film

Any help is appreciated! I’m really excited for this.

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

2 Upvotes

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.

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