🦈 Daily Shark Fact: 🦈

Broadnose Sevengill Sharks, are also known as Cow Sharks 😍 (I'm obsessed with cows), have different sets of teeth. The teeth on this shark’s lower jaw are comb shaped, while the teeth in its upper jaw are jagged. When biting large prey, the shark anchors its jaw with the lower teeth, then thrashes its head back and forth to saw off pieces of flesh with its upper teeth.

*As far as I can gather, they were formerly called cow sharks because of their docile nature and facial structure (small eyes, wide heads, blunt snouts).* The term refers to many species of six and sevengill sharks.*

Info dump to me about the sharkies I WANT TO KNOW 1. Most aggressive sharkie 2. Fastest Sharkie 3. Strangest sharkie 4. Oldest Sharkie 5. Smallest Sharkie 6. Biggest Sharkie 7. Slowest Sharkie 8. Cutest Sharkie 9. "Ugliest" Sharkie

heheheh i know all of this from the top of my head 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈

Bull sharks! they're the most aggresive towards humans along with great whites and tiger shark

Shortfin makos!!!

This is more subjective and i'd say goblin sharks, frilled sharks and cookie cutter are probably some of the weirdest ones. Honorable mention: the helicoprion (extinct friend but he was so strange <33)

Okay so the shark that can grow the oldest is the greenland shark, they can reach more than 400 years old The oldest *species* is the frilled shark! Along with the rest of the hexanchiformes order (this are sixgill and sevengill sharks)

Dwarf lantern shark! he's just a leetol guy

Whale shark! it's also the biggest fish in general followed by the basking shark

Greenland sharks, they're just vibing in the water

Subjective again, small sharks definetly get to me. Spotted catsharks, zebra pups, and nurse sharks too

In general people will probably say goblin? I think they're really weird and that's the thing i like the most about creatures so <3

Broadnose sevengill shark (Notorynchus cepedianus)

Size: 2-3m (6-10ft)

Range & Habitat: Sevengill sharks can be found in most non-tropical waters worldwide. They tend to stay deep, around 50m (165 ft) near the seafloor.

Other: Yes, sevengill sharks do actually have seven gill slits (most sharks only have five). Besides this, they are identifiable by their noses, as their name also suggests, and long, wide shape. Broadnose sevengills have a speckled coloration on their back and only one dorsal fin that is noticeably further back than most other sharks. They tend to be more active than most other deep sea sharks, and can be aggressive at times.

HELLO. as some of you may know i went to a very Big aquarium on monday and i said i would post pictures. this is it. BUADBKASBDKJ

this is a broadnose sevengill shark. when i came to the aquarium i was most excited to see these little guys (well, not technically little but theyre just Guys) as the name implies, they have seven gill slits instead of the regular five. you may also notice that they look a bit prehistoric. thats because they kind of are. sevengills are a type of cowshark which is in the same family as frilled sharks and they are some of the oldest sharks that are still swimming around down there. i personally love cowsharks i find them to be very cute and i was literally crying when i saw them in the tank

this is a spiny dogfish. this is the most Normal picture i got of this guy the entire time. he was literally following me and i know it was the same guy because his nose was kind of bloody. which poor little guy but also it was very funny that he kept coming up to me.

here is another picture of the same spiny dogfish. no joke he was following me. if i can upload the video i took i will.

ANYWAY. i dont actually know that much about spiny dogfish but i should get on that tbh. i will forever stand by my statement that dogfish sharks are the silliest guys in the whole ocean and i LOVE silly sharks

this is a scalloped hammerhead. i dont actually know very much about this particular species either but i do know that they, as a whole, have a symbiotic relationship with barberfish. the hammerheads swim near the barberfish and when they jerk their tails, the barberfish know to go clean their teeth. its like a little shark dentist. in this particular picture, this was the only hammerhead in the tank, which has 1.2 million gallons of water in it and nothing on the bottom to imitate the open ocean for pelagic fish and turtles. (there were two turtles they were very cute but i am not a turtle guy so i will not be talking about them)

this is a leopard shark. they had A Lot of leopard sharks everywhere. there were a lot in this tank that i took this picture in and then there were a few in the sevengills tank and there were like two or three in a shallower pool with some bat stingrays (which are adorable and i will be learning more about them because they are so fucking cute)

extra pictures under the cut :D

What’s your favorite exhibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium?

Mines the deep sea tank, I could just sit in front of it for hours.

Impossible to decide. It's like deciding on my favorite child.

The entire Into the Deep exhibit is mind-blowing. It sucks that it's only a temporary exhibit, but it'll probably be around for several more years. The first time I saw the Japanese spider crabs there.... I felt like I instantly reverted to a 12 year old. I was 24 LOL

The bottom layer of the Open Seas tank, which is now integrated as the first section of Into the Deep, also deserves a shout-out. When I was a kid I used to lay down on the slanted concrete slab below the titled glass, and you can look directly up and see the undersides of everything that passes by. The Mahi Mahi in particular scatter light in rainbows around them. It's gorgeous. I still do that these days, but it's more brutal on my knees and I'm a tad bit too tall to do it comfortably for long periods of time.

If I have to choose, the shale reef area/deep reef area of the Monterey Bay Habitats tank is my lifelong favorite, though. It's underappreciated alongside all the other exhibits, but there's so much in there that's iconic- but mostly, I love the insane variety of massive rockfish in their, including Boccacios. And then you have the giants of sevengills sharks and giant sea bass swimming over as you fixate on the tiny fish flitting between the ricks. My normie account social media pfp for a long time was the silhouette of me sitting in one of the glass "bubbles" on that tank, staring into the depths beyond. The white plume anemones also remind me of one of my favorite dive sites, which is also nearby.

And of course, ya gotta say hi to Rosa, or her compatriots if she's not in exhibit. It's mandatory.

In general, the Monterey Bay Aquarium is a love letter to California's marine life, and I love it so much.
