Are there sharks in Gran Canaria? Are they harmful or not?

When we go on holiday, we like to check everything out in order to enjoy a perfect stay. We get information about the place, the accommodation, the different activities to do and so on. When some people think about Gran Canaria and its wonderful beaches, they get wrong imagining that there are many dangers hidden in the water, but the question is… are there sharks in Gran Canaria?

Affirmative, there are sharks in Gran Canaria. However, before you decide to cancel your holidays to Gran Canaria because of shark attack panic, let us tell you everything you need to know about sharks in Gran Canaria.

We will unveil if they are harmful or not and the different species that you can find around the island.

 Are sharks in Gran Canaria harmful?

Being honest, you should know that there has only been one small shark attack (non-fatal at all) on the East Coast of Gran Canaria, back in 2015. A small silky shark bit a woman while she was swimming in deep water at Arinaga Beach. Experts said that the shark was fish-eating and it probably got confused in the murky waters.

That is the only shark bite recorded in Gran Canaria. Don’t you believe us?

Here you will find the shark attack data from Spain to prove that we are not lying. Furthermore, considering that millions of locals and tourists swim and bathe in our beaches day by day, year by year, you must admit that shark attacks in Gran Canaria are not a real problem.

In addition, you should know that the waters around Gran Canaria and the Canary Islands are a vital sanctuary for a great number of sharks and ray species. All these species are endangered by overfishing and, although they are attracted by the waters around the island, they hardly ever come close to our coasts and beaches.

For instance, Gran Canaria is one of the few places in the world with a healthy population of angel sharks, and they are not harmful at all. Many other threatened oceanic species, such as the blue or the hammerhead shark, come to the Canary Islands just to breed their hatchlings.

Other species, such as the blanket ray, live around the island throughout the year.

To sum up, we are quite sure that you won’t even see one. Moreover, we can state that if a diver can even sight a shark or another weird fish as a ray, he or she can consider him or herself quite lucky. Hence, we assure you that you don’t need to worry at all about sharks in Gran Canaria, because they are harmless! Down below, you will find a list of the most important species of sharks in Gran Canaria:

The different species of sharks in Gran Canaria

Angel Shark (Squatina squatina)

The Angel Shark looks like a ray because its body is flattened, but it is actually a shark. It normally lives on sandy bottoms not so far from the shore. These sharks used to be common all over Europe and the Mediterranean Sea. Nevertheless, intensive bottom trawling has diminished the population of angel sharks, but the Canary Islands are one of the few places where you can still find them in abundance.

There are two great places where you can sight an angel shark — Sardina del Norte in north-west and Taurito beach in the south of Gran Canaria.

Whale Shark (Rhincodon typus)

Whale sharks are considered the biggest fish of the world. They are occasional visitors to Gran Canaria and local divers get very excited when they have the chance to see one. These sharks feed on plankton and they are completely harmless if you don’t get you get too close to their tails.

If there is a whale shark around Gran Canaria, every diver on the island will know about it. The whale sharks are also known as ‘Ños Cacho Pez’ by the inhabitants of Gran Canaria.

Hammerhead Shark (Sphyrna zygaena)

The hammerhead sharks have a very bad and absolutely undeserved reputation. They are considered man-eaters, and their global population has been diminished by overfishing. Hammerheads are actually fish-eaters, so then they are completely harmless to people.

Basking Shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

Basking Shark is the second biggest fish in the world, and thankfully it is also harmless and it eats plankton. The Atlantic population of this huge fish — which measures 10 metres long approximately — migrates to the south in the winter to the waters around Madeira and the Canary Islands.

These sharks stay well offshore and they are seldom seen by people. Actually, until scientists tagged a few basking sharks a couple of years ago, we didn’t know that these kind of sharks spend the winter months around the Canary Islands every year.

If you want to see basking sharks in Gran Canaria, you would need to be sailing far away from the shoreline during the winter months and, apart from that, being very lucky.

The great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias)

The great white shark lives in the deep waters around the Canary Islands and Cape Verde islands. As they live in the deep waters, you don’t have to worry at all — they don’t approach the shore because there are no penguins or seals that they can eat. Apparently, these sharks use the waters of Gran Canaria to breed their hatchlings. It is extremely weird to see them close to shore.

Shortfin Mako Shark (Isurus oxyrinchus)

Shortfin Mako sharks are one of those potentially dangerous shark species to swimmers. Nevertheless, these sharks rarely get close to the coast in Gran Canaria. Moreover, most of the times they are seen, they are little ones. They are easy to distinguish thanks to their half-moon shaped dorsal fin and their point snout.

That’s all folks (for now)! We hope that you have enjoyed our post about sharks in Gran Canaria. Moreover, we hope that you don’t hesitate to enjoy your trip to the island and remember not to be afraid of sharks!

A big thank you to the 41 people who responded! The rabbits are stock photos, no need to worry abt stolen art haha. 

If anything is to be taken away from the survey, it’s that YHS and Samglad were not good influences. However, that does not make us bad people, The community’s shared experiences with Yandere High School has allowed us to thrive years after the series’ end. Fumblr has a countless amount of talented people and our mutual ability to bond over the sheer negative aspects of this series makes us special. nonetheless over 50% of the responses said they regretted ever being in the fandom, so like. lmao

i almost forgot it was tuesday. sam is inspired by a starving horse and taurtis when you put your hand in a sock and put some googly eyes on it

[tauritos]

my dad named this dog we got Tartis and I feel like sam talking to grian abt jerry in the taurtis 2 arc. his name is NOT taurtis

[tauritos]

I always liked the idea that Dom stopped being a dick to Sam after the genderswap arc, thinking that Sam was just another hurting trans kid. It's one of the only scenarios I think Samrao *could* work out.

little drabble below the cut feat. Dom's abuse, Invader, and trans solidarity.

The smell of cheese permeates the house. Dom's dad wears it like perfume. His old man is crunching doritos between his teeth, and in the back of his mind, Dom wonders how he ever found someone to make love to when his beard looks more yellow than black from cheddar. That doesn't matter, though, because at the front of his mind is getting to Invader's.

Prying open his window's latch, Dom slips into the cold night. Moonlight sets him ablaze with silver as he drops onto wet grass. Dom jumps to his feet and starts running, even though he oughta be taking it easy after a good ten hours in his binder. 

Streetlights hum with static. He'd spent a day dealing with Samantha's bullshit, and then his dad's, and Dom wants nothing more than to collapse in bed. The only thing worse than further ruining his sleep schedule was the smell of doritos, though, so he hauls himself to his feet. His dad is a prick. Completely unable to separate work from home life. Nonetheless, he would rather hear about his father's work problems, because otherwise his problems were with Dom, and that train of thought had left him mottled black-and-blue under his collar. 

His heart thuds in his throat. As Dom increasingly becomes known, he's got more eyes on him, and his father knew that too. The man pulled back. Dom's subconscious thanks him sweetly, praising his father for not beating the shit out of him, and Dom's self-hatred grows a little thicker. Invader says he's always had a heart, even for those who really don't deserve it.

Dom rounds the corner and comes across a large house. Warmth pools in the doorway, a stark contrast to the biting, icy night, and the big body of Blart staring at him from the window isn't enough to dissuade Dom. Invader loiters in the doorway. She smiles as he hurries up the steps, panting, and pats him on the back with her equally big hand. Dom yearns for her genetics. He wheezes out a greeting in reply. Invader might have gone too hard and too fast for Samantha's heart, but even then Dom still thinks she was crazy to turn down Invader. She is really hot. So is the house. It beckons him, and Dom happily enters.

"What's the deal?" Invader asks. She guides him to the kitchen counter and sits him down in a chair. His back hits ribbed wood. "You sounded distressed."

"I think I'm T-for-T," Dom replies glumly, and Invader huffs out a laugh. 

"Me too, bitch."

"Samantha is a fucking ass," he carries on, "But there's something about her in a dress. And Grian got real pretty too as soon as I saw his binder. Shit, Invader, what the fuck."

She waves her hand. "We feel safe with eachother. We don't get that feeling a lot. It's nice. What's the problem?"

"It's fucking Sam!" Dom retorts, sounding strangled.

"It's fucking Sam," she agrees. "Welcome to the club."

long live yhs

[tauritos]

hello @yhs-and-ts-ruined-me your prompt caught my eye. 1.3k of Yuki, Dom and Invader beating the shit out of Sam w/ a baseball bat. Warning for violence, swearing, and canon-typical Sam behavior

The screaming begins a few minutes before dawn breaks the horizon. Yuki had spent more than enough time sneaking around Sam and Taurtis' place to know what her rabbit looked like asleep, painted red in sunrise's embrace, snoozing soundly.

The silence is almost off-putting. She's so used to his grating voice scritching at her ears, his boisterous laughter, the heavy background of red and blue at his heel, that seeing him alone in bed makes him look like a new man.

But he's not. His nose twitches in his sleep like it does when he's awake. Brown ears flatten to equally brown hair as if he's upset, like he's screaming with a closed mouth. 

Grian's blood is still under his fingernails, from when Sam grabbed the other earlier, and if she pulls Sam's hand to her face, she can make out bits of earwax, smelling faintly spicy. Probably happened when he ripped Taurtis' headphones off his head. Yuki thinks they're all disgusting. Sam is the worst of them all, she decides. 

Maybe that's why she raises the baseball bat - Dom's, mahogany, shittily painted in trans flag colors in what Yuki bets was a poor attempt at rebellion - and brings it crashing down on Sam.

A sickening crack fills the air, and Sam abruptly wakes with a shriek, jerking up to meet Yuki with wide eyes then immediately falling back. She hopes she broke his ribs. Yuki moves forward and sits on his belly. His stomach puffs out as he wildly exhales, then deflates, spasming beneath Yuki as her weight prevents it from being able to take a deep breath.

Sam's hands claw at Yuki, raking down the rumpled fabric of her clothes. For such a monster, he's awfully weak. She stretches to his throat and presses down firmly on his windpipe, a grin splitting her face as the rabbit hybrid bucks up and wrestles and -

She's interrupted by a soft ding. Her phone vibrates in the depths of her skirt. Yuki leans back almost leisurely as she fishes the device out, only squeezing her legs tighter around Sam's torso when the rabbit hybrid struggles fiercely in response. It's a text from Invader.

blart's girl: u actually do it? 

blart's girl: Dom changed his mind. He wants in. omw

Yuki doesn't reply, instead taking a photo of Sam's face. He's long past the grogginess of waking up and is in full panic mode, shrieking and kicking the sheets. Sam must sense she'd switched to taking a video, because it's when he starts to use his mouth for anything other than eardrum-splitting screaming.

"Yuki, Yuki!" He yells, "What the fuck? I thought you were on our side! Why did you hit me? What did I do to deserve that? It fucking hurts! Get off!"

She smiles sweetly with a mouth full of knives rather than teeth. A tiny bit of blood must be weeping from where she brought down the bat, sinking wetly into her skirt, and Yuki decides it's not enough. 

She wants more. 

The bat finds itself back in her hand. Sam shrieks again, but falters when it comes to rest gently on his Adam's apple. It's a great tease for Invader and Dom, and Yuki is about to announce she'll let them do it when they arrive over video, only then Sam asks, "Is this a sex thing? I knew you girls were freaky! I bet homo-Soul's even crazier!"

And that pisses her off. Anger twists in her gut and builds up along her ribs like plague. Yuki tosses her head back and laughs. He'd never grow out of his bullshit. 

She yanks the bat forward and up, sending Sam's head flying back against the pillow. Blood beads along the impact wound. Yuki runs her hand along without a hint of gentleness and flaunts the blood coming off with it to the camera. 

Sam writhes and howls as she sends it to Invader. "Red! Red! Fuck, you're fucking crazy, red's a safeword, right?"

"I'll pick you apart, right down to your core, and sneer when I'm revealed with a egotistical, whining, baby bunny bitch," Yuki snaps back. "You are anything but sexually appealing, Samgladiator."

Sam's retort is caught in his throat as the window Yuki came in through is pulled open. Yuki swivels around, again slamming the bat down on Sam's ribs to keep him in place (she's almost certain something broke this time), and brandishes a knife towards the window. Dammit, she thought she'd found the perfect time to do this! 

Thankfully, it's Dom's head that pops over the windowsill. He's pushed through. Triple grunts fill the air, one from Sam, one from Dom whose ass lands up on the floor, and one echoing outside. Invader, she bets.

Dom's not in his usual outfit. Fit in white sweatpants that swallow his feet whole and only his binder, the only thing normal is the purple hat on his head, but even that's silver in moonlight. He pulls himself to his feet. He's no threat to her, nevermind when Yuki has two weapons at her disposal, so she turns back to Sam. 

Blood bubbles at his lips, coming up from his ribs. His cheeks bloom brilliant pink from strain and his rabbit ears shake erratically. Yuki closes her fists around them and tugs them both to their feet, handing the bat to Dom. She knows he won't do shit. 

Sam leans heavily against her, helplessly doubled over, head yanked to where Yuki's hands sat by her stomach. His legs still work, she inwardly notes. He'd probably be running if Invader wasn't standing in the doorway, large and as intimidating as her father.

"I want to remember this. Forever.," Dom says. He gestures to his white clothing. She can respect that. Sam moves fast enough to give Yuki whiplash, shrieking like he didn't know Dom was here. "I want to see the blood stains."

"Well, there's some on the sheets if that's your fancy," Yuki replies. She teasingly adds, "Or: we can start a new flow."

Dom's hands flap eagerly at the prospect. Yuki's dad would've killed her for doing something like that. She hums in question as he walks around her and Sam's hunched over, gasping form, and presents the pink-white-and-blue bat to Invader.

"Sure. I'd kill to get bunnyboy on his knees," Dom agrees easily, turning to Yuki. Next, he lowers his gaze, and bites out, "Sam, you're a piece of shit. You've done nothing but hurt and mock and take advantage of everyone around you. You're an attention whore, a liar, and honestly I didn't want to hurt you. I didn't want to hurt anybody, because then I'd be just like you. But I've realized something, Sam. I'll never be like you, because you hurt good people. Grian, Taurtis, Salex.

"I only hurt bad ones."

Invader's hands meet Dom's, and for a second, Yuki stares with a look of confusion. But then they clasp together and the bat is swinging at Sam's knees, exposed as he shakes against Yuki. For the first time, she feels a twinge of sympathy for Sam, and grips him tightly back. A confused whimper fills her ears.

And they shatter. Sam's legs collapse beneath him. An open-mouthed sob ribs through him, blood pooling from his mouth, pouring from his knees. After that' Invader and Dom take turns slamming it down against his back, relentlessly for several minutes. Yuki starts to dread having to clean the carpet after. By the time dawn climbs over the horizon, the sunlight barely makes a difference, they're so drenched in red.

"I hate transphobes, and racists, and sexists, and most importantly you, Sam," Invader finishes with a final crack. Sam's unmoving on the floor. "I hate you." She echoes Dom.

Yuki pockets her knife and crouches down, prying Sam's face from the carpet. That's thick. No matter, she'd deal with it.

She tells Dom and Invader to steal some of Sam's clothes and go home. Dom's binder will never be the same again, and Invader's got a haunted look on her face. Between the blood drying on her clothes and the amount of bandages she'll have to apply if she wants Sam to survive in time for Grian and Taurtis' turn, Yuki decides they're not her problem.

Dawn breaks over a broken man. Good. He deserved it.

edit: results out!

The YHS Fuckover Survey

The people of Fumblr often point to Samgladiator's "Yandere High School" when asked where they went wrong. This survey asks the question, did YHS influence specific factors en masse, such as identity and mental health? What similarities are visible from person to person?

Completely anonymous and for fun! I'll compile a presentation after a week or so. How much did YHS screw us over as a community?

edit: all information will be taken w/o judgement and added to the data compilation regardless of moral standing. Everything goes.

[tauritos]

i headcanon yhsgrian has the wings. No biggie. I also think during the Jerry arc he curled them in and painted them red/blue to replicate Taurtis' headphones

[tauritos]

grian is hurling salex offscreen

[tauritos]

They're in the thick of it, bullets flying and Grian's pulse hammering, wings all but shaking from the denied urge to flare out defensively. If he allows that, they'll get shot. His earwings smart feircely, winding closer to his head with each boom.

Taurtis, on the other hand, is utterly unaffected. His hearing gets worse the longer he blasts music to cope. It's only getting quieter, Taurtis tells him.

But Sam barely flinches, and he's got no excuse, especially with his sensitive rabbit ears. So one night, Grian, swamped in red-and-blue and more afraid of the man in front of him than he ever was of the Yakuza, quietly asks, "How do you deal with the noise?"

Sam laughs. "Taurtis," he says, that alone leaves him wincing, "You were there when Yuki did it. She padded them. Yuki acted like it was a pretty romantic gesture. The only thing it was, was stupid."

He's real ungrateful, but at least Sam knows what's good for him.

(or: hc that Sam's got a padded hat to deal with the gunshots)
