Name my pfp :)

A cartoon shark and not a real one I know, but they deserve a name I think

Your profile picture is a whale shark, large with spotted patterns and a large mouth for catching small fish and krill! (Fun fact, no two whale sharks have the same pattern! Like fingerprints!) The scientific name is Rhincodon typus.

Now, your little whale shark is just a silly little guy, so they deserve a silly little guy name. I’m thinking maybe Oli, like Oliver or Olivia!

I just realized I never set up the ask button, oops. We’re good now ❤️

Posting an example for y’all,

This is a Silky shark! Also known as the blackspot shark, gray whaler shark, olive shark, ridgeback shark, sickle shark, sickle-shaped shark and sickle silk shark.

You can kinda tell because they’re sleek and angular with no particular skin pattern. They’ve got a really nice warm grey colouration, and their eyes always kinda make them look like they’ve seen things they can’t unsee. This shark only has 5 gills.

This picture doesn’t really give any indication of the sharks sex, so we’re gonna find a nice gender neutral name.

I think Rylie suits em real well!
