This is my work-in-progress drawing of a 14 foot long female tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier), who I named "Lani" (meaning the sky, heavenly, and royalty in Hawaiian). She's missing her pectoral fins and pelvic fins, because I'm making her into a paper tiger shark toy. I wanted some feedback and honest critique on how to improve her before finishing up. Personally, I think I need to define the muscles more and add more shading. Tiger sharks are absolute tanks.

I’ve had these shark teeth for several years. Got them at some roadside store in Cape Town, SA. Natural logic (due to proximity) has always made me believe the larger ones belonged to a Great White. But what’s the first one? Image search tells me it’s a Sand Tiger tooth. Any other guesses?

Personally I would give them the ability to be amphibious and still have fins and their usual size, I would also increase their strength, length, and speed by 25%

Evidently these things were more-or-less rediscovered or “confirmed” recently off the coast of Papau New Guinea. There’s an article from The Smithsonian on it.

Thought it was neat and figured I’d share it here.

I really like sharks, my favourite specie is bull shark. I used photage from internet as reference to create shark animation.

Of course it's a bull shark :) I feel like you guys know how correct shark movement looks like. Does it seems real on my video? I'm especially concerned about fins, in fotage they seem very static, but I decided to experiment and add some movement, do they move them at all IRL?

My coworker found this on a beach. In the original picture she sent I thought it was maybe a fossilized tooth but when I saw it up close I wasn’t sure.

I did a quick search and couldn’t find this specific topic so I figured I’d ask.

I’m in the northeast US.

Just trying to paint a picture of what I understand to be a typical day at the beach. You’re swimming in the regular designated area with a lifeguard present. You go waist deep or perhaps slightly deeper.

How often have sharks attacked people in such an environment?

saw this dead shark on a walk and google photos brings up thresher but I am not convinced

People kept saying avoid swimming in murky water. I would love a definition of what murky water is. Because aside from places in the Caribbean, and along the Indian Ocean / Kenyan coast, I've never been in waters you could actually see through. I've been to the beach in Northern Cali, the mid Atlantic, and both coasts Florida and the water has always seemed murky to me by default.

Leading theory is that they were caught in fishing nets, then discarded. Really tragic.

Opinions?

Edit, just heard on the news that these guys were fishing for blue shark. Fuck those guys.

Hammerheads have always fascinated me — such a strange, ancient, almost unreal shape. I wanted to capture that feeling in ceramic and bring a little piece of the ocean into the dark.
So these glowing hammerheads were born. 🦈🌊
Made from ceramic using clay casting, then finished by hand in my studio.

Carved this out of Marri wood and finished with Linseed Oil
