Do you know any cookie cutter shark facts or lantern shark facts

Etmopterus perryi or Dwarf Lantern Sharks

Dwarf Lantern Sharks are so cute! They grow to be a maximum of 20 cm (7.9 in) and live in the Bathypelagic zone at depths of 1,000 - 3,000 m (3,300 – 9,800 ft). This zone is also known as the midnight zone because there is no light. This is why this shark has really large eyes comparative to its body size! This shark, like some other deep-sea sharks, can glow! They have organs known as photophores on its underside, used as camouflage and to attract prey.

These sharks are rarely seen, so there's still a lot we don't know about them!

Thanks for the ask; a post about cookie cutter sharks will be up soon, and I'll link it here!

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Can I offer you a dwarf lanternshark in this trying time? This species of shark is the smallest in the world, at only 20 cm (8 in) long, and is found at depths of 283–439 m (928–1,440 ft). The dwarf lanternshark gets its name for its ability to produce light from a series of f light-producing photophores along its back, which may help it to attract prey or disorient predators.

If you send me proof that you’ve made a donation to UNRWA or another organization benefiting Palestinians, I’ll make art of any animal of your choosing.

kirbyssharkfacts i am feeling down. will you give me a kirbys shark facts?

sorry to hear you're feeling down anon, but i hope this fact will help cheer you up! did you know some sharks can glow in the dark? bioluminescence has been documented in multiple shark species: the kitefin shark, blackbelly lanternshark, and southern lanternshark.

the exact purpose of this bioluminescence is unknown, but scientists have made several hypotheses. it’s possible that the sharks use this to communicate with each other, to disguise themselves when hunting prey or evading predators, or to illuminate the ocean floor when searching for food. a research paper on this subject was published in the frontiers in marine science journal in 2021, which you can find here if you're interested!

I am so proud to finally share what I've been working on for near 2 months! With the Suicide Squad game coming out so soon, I really wanted to bring my A-game with shading, expression, and design. Adding the recently revealed Ivy (I got as far as beginning on inks when that trailer dropped), I've actually surpassed my previous record of characters in a group shot (previously held by my Batfamily piece from last year, and a Doom Patrol group I drew in 2020). I can't wait to see who else is added to this roster upon release, and next season as well!

Check me out on Redbubble!

AMBER🍮🦈

Amber takes joy in eating the Cores of other Crystal beings like him and keeping them stored inside his transparent body to showcase as trophies. Just like the name suggests, he possesses a strange goopy texture that allows him to shapeshift to an extent and trap objects inside. He is heartless and commits such acts for nothing other than fun

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

Sharktember Day 24: Shark-o'-Lantern

[sharks-are-friends-not-foes]

🦈 Daily Shark Fact: 🦈

Dwarf Lantern Sharks are the smallest shark in the world, reaching a maximum known length of 8 in. They have photophores, or organs which produce light, along their lower bodies. They use that light much like how an anglerfish does, drawing prey to it for them to feed on. They share this ability with their cousins, like the Kitefin shark.
