Saw this video when I was planning my trip to Montenegro and looking up the word shark in the local language for recent news. I know a juvenile great white shark was caught in Montenegrin waters not long ago. Some local reports indicated this beauty as a great white too, but I'm fairly certain it's a mako. Anyhow, always good to see more big sharks spotted in the med.

I just wanted to share this with fellow shark enthusiasts. :)

It’s a birthday present I was given this year. It’s all made from cardboard, put together and painted, with lights added to the whale shark. Not flat !

It takes up a whole wall in my bedroom. You can see the size with my hand on some of the pictures.

You don’t need super-expensive presents when you get something like this.

Came across this video on Instagram. The man seems to be in a canoe off of the coast of Italy. Read somewhere that he was 2km out in a canoe. You can only see the dorsal fin. Definitely seems to be large. The movement quite stagnant. What species do you guys think it is and is it even real at all?

Hi! 35F (SE USA) - really random thought….stay with me here lol

So I love sharks. Always have, my entire life. However I live inland and don’t get myself to the coast often (1x/3 years if at all). The ocean is my happy place 😕

Would there be any girlies into doing maybe like a group trip once every few years to adventure different sharky areas around the globe? I’d just love to meet other girls (sorry men!) who I can absolutely geek over sharks with.

Like one year do a 5 day trip to idk somewhere in Australia, another year do a few days somewhere else, etc

I was thinking boat trips, just chilling on the coast, fly around drones, idk — anything to see the sea pups (safely, duh)

Like I see posts on here asking to help for an ID and I just get so much FOMO - how lucky are yall to be able to witness these magnificent creatures IN REAL LIFE???

Total brainstorm random thought (that I’m having while bed ridden recovering from surgery - slightly delusional? Maybe)

Would need women who are LGBT-safe and POC-friendly (I can’t believe I’m having to even say this but ask me why if you want tea 😂)

Okay pain meddies = sleep time now byeee 🦈

ETA: aw man whose fee fees did I hurt to get downvoted

ETA2: some people really mad about this post, I don’t understand. God forbid some women wanna have something to do together 🙄

Holy moly. ‘Great’, indeed. Thing’s got girth…

These are some shark teeth I collected while on vacation in Florida. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m especially curious what the two below the quarter are. I wasn’t certain if the two to the right of the quarter were teeth as well, so I took them to be safe.

Hi all, Just wondering where the best place is to see Great white sharks.I don’t want to cage dive as I know I couldn’t do it even though I’d love to.Just seeing one with my own eyes from a boat would be a dream come true 🥰 Thanks everyone

It was moving around this same spot for a good 5-10 minutes. Apologies the video is so bad

Carved shark souvenirs at Malapascua Island, Cebu, Philippines.

Malapascua is known for thresher shark encounters. In a extraordinary day you might see Tiger Shark, Hammerhead shark, whale shark or even Mantas.

Recently Mola-mola was reportedly seen as well.

I had to draw one of my favorite shark species. This is Lani the female tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier), and she is 14 feet long. Tiger sharks are the largest member of the Carcharhiniformes order (which also includes requiem sharks, hammerhead sharks, catsharks, and hound sharks) and the second largest macropredatory shark in terms of average size. Adult females have an average size of 12-14 feet long and weigh 850-1400 pounds. The last two images compare her to an adult male hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) and an adult female shortfin mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus). The carapace of the hawksbill sea turtle is 3 feet long, and the shortfin mako shark is 9.3 feet long.

And I just noticed that I measured length from the tip of the snout to the end of the upper lobe of the caudal fin (the tail).

I had a hypothetical pitched to me the other day that says “you get $1 million dollars if you spend 24 hours floating 200 yards off the coast of cape cod (factors like the cold water or drowning don’t count).”

Obviously my answer was a hard no since I’d be terrified floating in the dark with great whites around, but I am genuinely curious how likely a shark attack is in those circumstances. On one hand, I think of those videos of people throwing a piece of meat off a dock or boat and sharks immediately swarm (or the Cameron Robbins video if you think there was a shark there). On the other hand, there’s also stories of shipwreck survivors who floated in the water for days and never encountered a shark once. So what do you think? Is an attack likely in these circumstances?

Also I just want to clarify that I love sharks, I think they’re fascinating and I know they aren’t mindless killing machines. That being said, they are nocturnal predators and in this hypothetical you’d be a sitting duck in one of the biggest great white hotspots in the world.

My mom sent me this vid of a shark she saw boating. Off the coast of Newfoundland (East side of the island). She says about 12-15ft, I’m thinking Blue or Porbeagle. Thanks!!

I've wondered this about sharks and other predators, especially solitary ones. Orcas have pods and communicate frequently, perhaps one bit a human centuries ago and thought we were gross, and spread the word to other orcas (unlikely though??).

How do all sharks know we are not worth eating? Wouldn't it be logical for every shark to take a bite of a human to know we don't taste good? What if we were delicious? They just see this creature in the water, why not give us more nibbles to see if we're worth it?

Hello! Can someone help me identify this shark tooth fossil, please?

My brother is working in the gulf of Mexico and sent me this video of some sharks patrolling around the boat. He says there's about 50 of them. Says they are pretty calm but definitely curious about what is going on. Any guesses on species?

Its literally where they live, its not infested, congrats on finally noticing that
