🦈 Daily Shark Fact: 🦈
Oceanic Whitetip Sharks are not diurnal which means they are active both day and night. They rely on ram breathing (they have to constantly swim to pump oxygen over their gills), so they never sleep. They are nicknamed the “Dark Knight of the Ocean” (<- -- I appreciate this nickname because I love Batman lol) because they tend to hunt mostly at nighttime. Though they are primarily nocturnal, they will opportunistically feed during the day if an easy meal presents itself.

giant siphonophores!!!
giant siphonophores are deep sea invertebrates that live in many deeper oceans all over the world, from iceland to chile!
they eat small crustaceans and small fish

they’re not single multi-cellular organisms, they’re actually colonies of tiny biological components called zooids!

Happy Shark Awareness Day!!
In celebration of the best holiday to exist, I'm gonna share some of my favorite shark facts!! (I have a lot of favorite shark facts.)
Sharks have no bones!! None! Nada! The only bones they have are their teeth. But Mal, what happened to their bones?? Idk buddy, we probably stole 'em or something.
Lemon sharks love getting pets and will even have favorite divers they seek out to get attention! If they see their diver giving attention to another shark, they can get jealous and try to chase the other shark away.
The largest Great White shark ever recorded is a female named Deep Blue! She is over 20ft long and weighs an estimated 2.5 tons!!
Sharks have been around for almost 455 million years!! That's why most of them are grumpy. They're just old :/
The smallest species of shark is smaller than the human hand. (Psst, it's the dwarf lantern shark.)
Sharks!! Can have!! Personalities!! Just like humans!! Some are confident and social, while others can be shy and cautious. There have been some sharks even found having anxiety!
Although sharks having AMAZING eye sight, scientists belive that sharks are mostly colorblind.
Sharks are continually shedding their teeth! Some sharks will shed over 20000 teeth in their lifetime!
Hammerhead sharks have binocular vision l, which means they can see 360 degrees!!
Humans don't taste good to sharks. I'm serious!! We really don't taste good to them. That's why most sharks just bite us and let go. We're nasty. (I wouldn't wanna eat us either)
Sharks are really, really cool creatures that don't deserve all the hate they get.
We depend on sharks to keep our oceans alive and healthy.
There are over 400 species of sharks. 75% of them are threatened with extinction.
But you can help!! Tell friends and family how awesome sharks are, and avoid buying products made with sharks.
You can advocate for the protection of sharks by signing petitions and calling your government officials and saying, "hey!! I'm a voter and I want sharks to be protected!"
Happy shark awareness day <3

🦈 Daily Shark Fact: 🦈
Silvertip Sharks, not to be confused with the Whitetip shark (ALL the fins of silvertips have white on them, but whitetips do not), are quite mobile. They exhibit fidelity to certain areas, with reports of territorial behavior. Individual silvertip sharks behave very aggressively towards one another, and many are heavily scarred. They are also reported to dominate Galapagos sharks and Blacktip sharks of equal size when competing for food.
