i was drawing a mermaid and decided to add my favorite shark!!! frilled shark !!! :B

There are plenty of famous shark films and stories and I'd love to write my own, however one thing that always bugged me is how the sharks are depicted as violent killing machines where as (from what I've heard) that's not really the case.

I want a core theme of the story to be the main human characters fearing the shark, but the shark not directly attacking anyone. The shark is an antagonist, but not a villain. I think it'd be nice to have the 'moral' be all about how people's fear of sharks causes them to fear something that is more in their head than actually in front of them.

I say all this to ask, what hated tropes about sharks should I not include? What facts are essential? How do I 'respectfully' write this story, without feeding into the same fearmongering most shark media feeds into?

Second time , she’s more cautious. Sometimes your presence and the fact that you are observing is enough to deter them.
(Applies for tiger sharks in this case )

I found it in a collection alongside a couple others. I've managed to identify the others as a shortfin mako tooth and a sand tiger tooth but this one has stumped me. Its about 2.5cm long and has no serrations

Freshly off the canvas

Last week I have posted the great white shark and hammerhead shark ceramic lamps, and many people was asking to make the whale shark lamp, so I have made two with different designs and I would like to ask which you like the most?

Found this tooth many years ago at a beach on Okinawa when I was an exchange student.

I’ve been wondering for a long, long time what kind of shark it belonged to, so I’ve been researching quite a bit. My best guess is an Otodus Obliquus, but since there are many knowledgeable people in this sub, I was hoping there would be someone who could identify it for me!

Thank you in advance 🙏🏻

Geoff Nuttall (ID: 74) making a close pass in front of my camera. You can see some decent detail in Geoff's eye, including a faint look at his horizontal pupil. The blue ring in a white shark's eye is result of a layer of cartilage in the anterior chamber. The actual iris of white shark eye is brown, though the blue ring gives us a sense that it's blue.

You might also notice a minor injury around Geoff's nostril (or nare). He seemed to have a had a very recent run-in with something that scratched him and peeled back the skin a bit on his snout.

I recently inherited these jaws from a friend that recently passed away. I’m curious on what species they are.

I'm currently trying to work my way into becoming a shark biologist if anybody has any information or career paths that I can follow or try to get connections that would be well appreciated like best online school best grants I really want to get into this I have for a long time I'm finally just stepping up to get it going!

Hey guys, my friend snyuu has been struggling with collecting interest for their shark bag. If you were interested in this bag, please fill out this interest form!
This is also a pre-order waitlist for 7 pre-sample pre-order slots, which would really help snyuu as a solo creator. With 7 people upstarting the first sample for crazy cool yet symbolic animal activism, it makes manufacturing easier for snyuu.

Edit: I was recommended to add this so here it is, this is an ita bag to hold pins, badges, or plushies in the stomach. The mouth will not stay open because theft exists unfortunately. The final product should have a magnetic closure at the teeth.

These 7 slots are fully refunded if the goal of 7 participants is unmet after 2 weeks from the first pre-sample pre-order. And that these 7 slots are entitled to the final bag discounted or either exclusive goodies.

Spread the word, keep giving your feedback, and ask any questions! Snyuu will be glad to have something to work with.

Scale comparison 🦈

Was wondering if anyone could help identify this shark. We spotted it about 2 miles off the coast of Cambria, Ca on July 12th. At first I thought it was a basking shark because of its size. However, the more I look into it basking sharks are super rare on the central coast of California. That leads me to believe it was a Great White. If anyone is an expert I’d love to learn! Thanks!
