Got my girl for a lil honeymoon present about 5 years ago, still my favorite tat. Thought yall would love her too!

i’m wanting to treat myself for my birthday and i’ve decided i want to help contribute to a shark conservation, ideally i’d want to get something wearable or a plush. i’ve had a look at fahlo and the reviews are mixed, i’ve looked at Shark Trust too and i was thinking of getting a years Shark Trust gift Membership but i can’t find enough information on what’s included in it apart from the two yearly magazines, Saving our Sharks Foundation’s shark guardian adoption package is the most appealing option that i’ve found at the moment. are any of these reliable options and what other foundations are there that i could look at ?

A video popped up about two years ago with a man spearfishing off a paddle board somewhere in Hawaii (IIRC). He spears a last fish puts it on his line and makes his way to his board. Out of nowhere a 8-9 foot tiger appears at his side noming on the fish on his line. It was following him just out of visibility waiting for the right time to intercept and scavenge the human's fish. Incredible.

The interaction was so chill. You can literally hear the spearfisher calling the shark naughty as he pokes it away with a spear. I would love to find the video and hope the description helps if anyone remembers seeing it. I could be totally wrong about the location being Hawaii and it could actually be Australia.

Anyways, thanks in advance!

This is kind of a rant but I feel like people kinda taken the “tiger sharks are the trash cans of the seas” a little too far. Like for example, I watched this one video of a tiger shark grabbing a diver’s head and then releasing them and then I read one person’s comment saying how essentially tiger sharks don’t do investigatory bites and will just eat the thing they have in their mouth. I know they’ve been found with the weirdest things ever but this comment makes me feel like the general public have perceived it as the norm. And I also feel like people could potentially take it out of context and used this to villainize tiger sharks and justify killing them because they’ll assume every tiger shark will happily chow down on anything.

I don’t know, this is just how I feel after reading the comment, but I want to hear other’s thoughts.

(Please pardon the dust.)

So yeah, this is my pride and joy! I’m autistic, and my special interest since I first saw the movie when I was 5 has been Jaws/sharks as a whole. Now, I do have more collectibles than what you see here, and more I plan to collect, but as you can also see here, I’m kind of running out of room. 😅 But hopefully y’all appreciate it for what it is as at the moment like I do!

The smallest shark species called ‘Dwarf Lantern Shark’ (Etmopterus perryi) is smaller than a human hand! They grow up to 23cm/9inches (the biggest one yet was 9.8 inches) long.

I want to be horrified pls tell me ur scariest one

I got bored and looked up vlogs on cage diving in South Africa and the only sharks they saw were bronze whalers.
