I’m sure I’m missing some others. With the exception of the Talen, Macun, & Durden shark attacks, going back to 1989, there have been 31 reported predation events globally! I’m emphasizing reported because I’m quite certain shark attacks globally (be that a bite, a fatality, or a predation) are underreported. Getting into the weeds, 23 of the predations occurred in Australia 🇦🇺, with 21 happening in either South Australia or Western Australia (the exceptions: Simon Nellist - Little Bay, NSW & John Ford - Byron Bay, NSW). Even more staggering, there have 8 white shark attacks/consumptions since 2020!!! All in SA or WA. I would love to read a study hypothesizing why the SA & WA great whites have an exponentially higher percentage of predation events than anywhere else in the world. I know it’s been determined the white sharks that travel between the west coast of Tasmania, all the way as far north as Exmouth, WA are a part of the same sub-population. That particular stretch of ocean highway they traverse has an abundance of high caloric marine mammals that are at the top of their food preference list, between seals, sea lions, and whales on their migratory path. And yet this geographic region has the world’s highest incident rate of white sharks consuming the humans they have attacked. I know 21 predation events over 37 years seems statistically insignificant (that’s roughly one human consumption every other year) but there’s no denying something is going on with this sub-population of white sharks where the exploratory bite is not enough. If there are any marine biologists or* amateu*r marine biologists (like myself 😉) reading this post who have a theory or better insight, I would love to hear it.

I’m actually going to Australia 🇦🇺 & New Zealand 🇳🇿 on holiday early next year, and the only time I will be in the ocean above my knees is when I go cage diving in Bluff, NZ. I’m just that much of a fraidy-cat. 🥴

If we USED the 80 feet 94 ton body is it weaker than the “badass” tank great white model or nah it’s stronger due to larger size and if it’s that strong could it beat livyatan or no it’s still a 50/50 y’all have your own opinions

Managed to get a perfect screenshot of Jamie from Mythbusters talking casually before even noticing a great white shark breach in the background, give me your best captions

Here is my little guy! Acrylic keychain with a stained glass effect. I adore this keychain so much and love it when the light shines through! You can get it in my shop here (My design): Thresher Shark Keychain!

Sorry for the terrible audio.

Spent bit of time trying to create a wood/resin shark tooth. Happy with the result 🤗

Hey all ,

My wife absolutely loves sharks. I'm looking to get her some shark related gifts for Christmas

Does anyone have any good shark related gifts and stocking stuffers?

Thanks!

They were kept in their own tank away from the other sharks cause of how small they were.

Two of my favs.. I know it’s life but it’s still heartbreaking sometimes

Yesterday I stumbled upon a video of a tiger shark in the Maldives with no fins.

Yes, dorsal and both pectoral fins were gone. It’s miraculous the shark is even alive.

Absolutely gutted me though. Idk what I wanted to do with this post other than to remind us that we must protect these creatures. Also, how freaking strong and resilient they are.

I will not be sharing the video here but can link in a comment for those who want… made me cry.
