Sharks

I hear em come up a lot when discussing potentially dangerous sharks from different sources as well (Cousteau, Uss Indy, Nova scotia etc) but aside from looking badass with the pilot fish entourage, they dont look deadly or as dangerous as say GWs or Makos do. Also considering that their habitat overlaps with Makos and yet these guys are credited for being the scariest of sharks to come across especially in the opean ocean is odd to me. I do think they are perhaps the most magnificient looking shark with long paddle like fins and reptilian eyes combined with that entourage of the pilot fish, like a rockstar with group of fans following it around

This poor shark washed up on the shores of Beach Haven, NJ (Long Beach Island) a couple of weeks ago. Can anyone identify its species?

• This is a video the hubs and I took of sharks mating. We had actually been swimming and kept thinking they were dolphins. So, we got closer to go swim with them and ummm..they were definitely not dolphins!!

To provide a bit of background, I am an expert on sharks, shark attacks, and nighttime videography. These credentials were the result of a grueling afternoon I spent doing my own research after I first watched the Cameron Robbins video. Having already applied my same methods to the field of structural engineering to prove beyond any doubt that 9/11 was staged, I felt that it was my duty to apply my research prowess to proving this event was a cover-up by the Bahaman tourist industry colluding with shark conservation radicals.

The still is a clear glimpse of the shark that attacked Cameron Robbins. After I triangulated the head with the length of Cameron, I calculated it is approximately 45 feet in length and, as can be seen, has a semi-translucent head. After not being able to find any shark species that fits this description, I have concluded it is a new shark that they don’t want us to know about and is being kept from the public. After further calculations, I estimate it is the cause of 2.4 million deaths annually.

Now, why would they cover this up, you ask? Simple. The Bahaman tourist industry wants to keep their pristine reputation intact, and the shark conservation radicals want to protect this new species at all costs. They’ve teamed up to suppress the truth, and only a few of us brave enough to dig deep can see through their lies.

Before sharing these findings with my colleagues in the Cameron Robbins truth movement, I wanted to share it with you amateur shark enthusiasts first. Though I do not expect any layman to be able to follow, I will do my best to answer any questions.

Edit: I am excited to report that I've just been offered my own three-hour special for Shark Week.

I call it moronus gigantus

Yes, the person who this happened to was fine.

How big is a bull shark with a 6x9 inch jaw ?

Obviously I've been watching a lot of Shark Week, and I've seen a bunch of decoys to lure sharks in. Many times, these seal decoys get large chunks taken out of them by the sharks. So my question is, since these decoys are usually made out of silicone/other synthetic materials, do we know if sharks swallow the bites they take? And if so, is it harmful to them? I couldn't imagine swallowing that stuff wouldn't affect them, even with their "iron stomachs". I've tried looking online and haven't found a single article about it.

Not sure about shark ID if anyone knows.

I have been obsessed with sharks for a long time and spent countless of hours having sporadic shartism moments whilst tryinna unearth as much as I can from these magnificient beings. Anyhow I'm having issues gathering info about couple of species that seem to be really rare hence why im asking if yall got any trivia about these species:

Bigeyed-sandtiger -seems to be a big ragged tooth that lives in the deeper waters but thats about all i know of em

Longfin Mako- the mako that gets kinda forgotten imo, and really i dont have almost any good data on em

Southern Sleeper shark- literally the forgotten triplet of sleepers, lives in the roughest seas and is poorly documented meaning we really dont know about their lifespan or maximum weights or lenghts, they also have been noted for similar hunting behaviors as greenland sharks

Bramble/Prickly shark- yet another relatively big shark that lives in the deep but thats all i know of em

Sevengill shark- ancient shark sometimes dubbed "gummy shark", has a strange habit of biting people in the head if an attack occurs

Dusky shark- seemingly quite aggressive shark but i have no idea of their size or anything in general

So theres just some that i've mentioned since there is a crap ton of other sharks that id love to learn more about like sixgills or treshers but i would love to get some lore about these magnificient animals for now and feel free to give your own similar additions to the list!

I joined this feed/community because I'm interested in sharks.

I've seen so many posts of people taking photos of sharks in aquariums or ones they have caught.

I'm confused, I don't get how people can be shark lovers and then go and fish for them or pay to see them in small tanks.

I'd be interested in everyone's opinion, I might just be a grump! Thanks 😊

Y'all. I have been watching some Shark Week episodes and came across this one. I had a feeling it would be a mockumentary, but thought it might be fun to watch. I was wrong! It's worse than the Megalodon one a few years ago! The whole premise is that there is an unknown creature eating sharks and whales alike.There was one part where they find a whale carcass/skeleton they had been looking for and the guy goes "Mysterious creatures have been chewing on these bones for sure." Like WTF!? How do you not know that there are countless organisms in the ocean that feed off of whale carcasses? It felt more like a poorly scrited B rated movie. So disappointed this is what Shar Week has come to.

My wife loves looking for sharks teeth and for her birthday I want to find an air bnb in an area where we can go out in the water and search for shark teeth (preferably not super populated if possible) and hopefully find some cool ones. Any suggestions for beaches or rivers on the east coast would be amazing. Been looking on google but would love to hear some personal experiences if any one has suggestions I wanna know
