🦈 Daily Shark Fact: 🦈
The origin of a Nurse Shark's name is not what you think. Unbelievably, it has nothing to do with hospital staff or bedside manner. There are two prevailing hypotheses explaining where the name ‘nurse’ shark came from. The first is that they get their name from the sucking motion they make with their jaws when they feed, which resembles a baby nursing. The second is that the name actually comes from either the Old English word for sea-floor shark, ‘hurse,’ or the Middle English word ‘nusse’, which means cat shark.

The thresher shark, with it’s typical shocked expression and the (sometimes) body length whip tail, has to be one of my favourite sharks!

This my shark i made from cardboard. He's name is Oscypek (a smoked type of cheese made of salted sheep milk witch is popular in my country especially in moutains). I love him so much and i made him with lemon shark in mind. It's not 100% lemon shark but it has little similarities.

next time you make baseless claims about how scary sharks are, look at a salmon shark.
look at him. you’re gonna look at him and tell me he’s infesting our waters? that this is a creature of terror?
look at him. look at him real good. this is a little dude. how fucking dare you talk about him this way. he’s gonna cry now, look at what you did. bet you feel real fucking stupid, huh? real silly? you better. think about what you’ve done. bitch

🦈 Daily Shark Fact: 🦈
Bull Sharks have a unique ability to control the rate at which they digest food, and it comes in handy for their survival! If they're in a situation where there's not enough food in the environment, the sharks digest slower than usual so they require less food. They can also throw up food on demand to distract predators.
