Here's a little baby horn shark I met while diving in socal

Hi guys! This has been bothering me for a while. I've been trying to remember a shark movie that I saw years ago as a child. The only things I can remember are:

1. There was a scene where a couple people were on a boat and they encounter the decapitated head of a victim.

2. IIRC, at the end of the movie there was a sort of slow pan down to the depths below, revealing a bunch more sharks that were frozen but slowly thawing.

The movie would have to be at least prior to 2015. Any help appreciated!

Feel for that poor mumma (no disrespect to Vladimir or the Popov family). Still the worst attack (both on Vlad and the shark) I’ve ever seen

Hello shark fans, Follow on post from my previous post about my shark wordle (if you saw that post) If not, welcome! I've recently updated it alot, complete overhaul.

Hi All,

Question is 2 fold about shark cage diving to see white sharks.

1. Is it better/more likely to see whites in AUS or NZ? I understand that these are wild animals and not controlled so they could well just not show up, but where is the better chances? Given I’m based in the UK it’s not exactly round the corner!

2. Best time of year? Again, I understand I could go in peak season and see nothing, but when is the best time with the highest chances? I’ve read that winter/spring months is apparently best due to seal pupping season around Neptune Island in AUS, but then it’s December - June for NZ at Stewart island.

Any help would be appreciated, as as mentioned, I’m not round the corner and this is my dream holiday to visit and do this. To also note, I have looked at Rodney fox shark expo’s, but they’re too expensive for me and a day on the ocean with sharks was enough for my wife, let alone 3!

love love love

This was on a beach on an island in Thailand

I’ve heard quite a few people say bull sharks are the most aggressive species of shark towards humans, which in my opinion isn’t true. We encounter bull sharks more than tiger and whites because they inhabit areas where humans are also present but the amount of attacks are lower than the other two species and the fatality rate of attacks is lower than a tiger shark also?

The fossilized tooth was collected at North Myrtle Beach, SC in August 2024.

The fine secondary serrations present on the coarser primary serrations are a main distinguishing factor for these beautiful teeth.

I don't know if this is the right place to put this, but I remember seeing multiple videos about a shark attack in which a crews boat sunk and one or two people survived, but they heard their fellow crew members getting eaten alive. If anyone knows what this incident was, or if it was just a movie, let me know!

Photographed this harbor seal from a bluff on the California coast, Santa Barbara County. Any thoughts on the markings left on this seal’s belly? Scar from the jaws of a white shark…?

Why do my sharks have blow holes?

Background: This was just one of those lucky shots where I happened to be positioned in a good spot as Gianna "fluttered" her gills and I was able to shoot down her first gill slit fairly well to get a decent look at the gill filaments.

As water passes through the gills, oxygen is absorbed and passed to the shark's deoxygenated blood which is then circulated throughout the shark's body. Carbon dioxide is also passed out from the blood during the process.

White sharks primarily rely on what is known as ram ventilation, in which the shark must continually be swimming forward to force water through its gills.

Some other shark species and rays are capable of long-term buccal pumping in which they can pump water through their gills using the muscles around their mouths, so they don't not have to maintain forward motion in order to breathe.

I have heard from at least one researcher who has said he's witnessed white sharks appearing to buccal pump when they were being tagged, but I don't know how sustainable that would be. As far as I'm aware it's still fairly widely accepted that white shark are obligate ram ventilators.

Hey y’all! Found this tooth today in St Pete Beach, FL in the gulf side and was curious if anyone knows what kind of shark it came from? Thanks in advance :)

Look how cute! My doggo passed away last year, I wish I had been able to get this for him. Had to share. <3 P.S. price was like 11 dollars and some change.

Heavy subject, but it comes with when you join the shark community. I just don’t know where to go from here, and I want to finally take a part or spread awareness for shark finning. Why does it EXIST!?!? They can’t spare 10 seconds to put them out of their misery? Greedy, evil people conforming to the societies commodity fetishism. We give products a power over us and turn them into “luxuries” when they really don’t have that “value”- we create that perception. I know I can’t do much physical to stop it, but if enough awareness AND stigma raises up, can’t that at least be a start? I know it’s not that easy, I know I’m missing a lot of info. I’m just ranting, it deeply disturbs me. I just can’t fathom the cruelty. I know there’s been new bans, but they don’t really seem to work. It’s the market that is the problem, if no one wants it, they won’t make money. But that’s just wishful thinking, I know it’s not that easy. I just need to get this out. I want to hear your opinions and get a broader insight.
