cutest shark facts?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nurse sharks and white tip reef sharks form a pile and cuddle!
It's believed to be a form of social bonding and has helped challenge the "lone shark" assumption, allowing us to learn more about shark ecology and interaction!

Any fun facts about basking sharks? (Really big sea puppies)
Tumblr media
Cetorhinus maximus or Basking Shark
These are the second largest shark and fish in the world (after the whale shark), they can grow to be 12 m (40 ft) long!
Also like whale sharks, they're ram filter feeders. This means that to catch prey, they simply open their mouths, swim forward, and catch whatever happens to get in their way! This is why they (and other ram filter feeders) tend to have such large mouths. The basking sharks mouth can be up to 1 m (3ft wide).
Tumblr media
While sharks are mostly thought to be solitary creatures, a lot of species do school and the basking shark is one of them! They're usually divided by sex (except during periods of mating), and schools of over 100 females have been spotted!

And probably the coolest fact about them- THEY CAN JUMP OUT OF THE WATER. Despite weighing around 5,000 kg (approx. 11,000 lbs) they can breach 1.2 m (4 ft) into the air! It's believed they do this as a method to remove parasites.
