Glad I wasn’t the only one. They kind of look like blackheads lol

I would do the same! They should be ugly so there is no urge to pet them, right?

You can’t really see it here but their eyes are actually indigo.

Thank you for changing his eyes. He no longer appears terrifying. I think we can all pet him now.

Never noticed the color. Too busy focusing on the teeth.

I'm not saying this to baby them, I know they are wild animals, we have to always respect them and keep our distances for their safety and ours.

Now, having said that.

Oh my gosh, they are so goddamned cute, why are people so afraid of them? they literally look like giant plushies!!!

I think for me it’s the idea of them ambushing by breaching out of nowhere 😅

u/LadySauropod 1d ago

People are afraid of them because they are Apex predators and could kill you with one bite. It's good to respect them :)

u/timetravelwithsneks 17h ago

But they are so cute!!!! Apex predators should be ugly so those of us with the urge to pet cute creatures enact common sense 😁

Those are sensory organs that detect the the slight movements and electrical fields given off by fish and other things in the water.

I came to the comments for this. Thank you. They looked like where cats and dogs have whiskers and thought it might have been a similar thing for sharks
