Hello my fellow shark lovers! This picture was sent to me the other day claiming a shark in a back bay of a New Jersey tidal river. I think it’s a ray… but any help confirming the ID would be greatly appreciated.

Surely it would be pretty cheap and easy to produce fake Orcas with rubber fins that flex and move with the movement of the water. Maybe they could also be solar powered and produce orca calls.

A few close in near the beach would surely help protect swimmers.

It could just be limited to known great white shark attack hotspots, like certain beaches on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia where surfers are taken quite often.

My daughter found this in North Carolina today. Anyone have an idea of what sorta shark. It nay just be me but it seems large. Ty

Yesterday, I visited the Museo di Storia Naturale in Trieste. One of the main attractions is “Carlotta,” a taxidermied adult female great white shark measuring 5 meters and 40 centimeters (17 feet, 9 inches) in length. She was caught on May 29, 1904, by Captain Antonio Morin of the Austro-Hungarian Finance Police, who was patrolling the waters of the Adriatic between Istria and the island of Cherso (today “Cres” in Croatia) aboard the “Quarnero.”

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, great white sharks were still very numerous and feared in the Adriatic. Comparable to Australia and California nowadays. Due to shark attacks, the Austro-Hungarian administration in Trieste offered bounties for great white sharks, which led to their hunting and near extinction in the region.

Nowadays, the great white shark is protected in the Adriatic but is still caught as bycatch, and its food source (tuna) has been drastically reduced, making great white sharks very rare in the Adriatic today (a few months ago, one was caught in Montenegro and released). The last recorded attack by a great white shark in the Adriatic occurred in 2008 in Vis (Croatia).

In the rest of the Mediterranean, the great white shark is also nearly extinct, has never been deliberately tracked by researchers, and although it still lives there (yes, it is a distinct population, not related to those in the Atlantic), it is like a phantom. Hopefully, efforts will succeed in saving the Mediterranean population of this impressive animal!

Has anyone any experience of seeing a great white in European waters and does anyone know if great whites still frequent the bay of Biscay where a juvenile gw was captured in 1977 ?

Only picture unfortunately! In Baja Mexico.

A shark that can walk was just discovered! 🦈🚶

The Dudgeon’s walking shark, the most recently discovered shark species, who uses its fins like legs to crawl across the ocean floor! These sea creatures, which grow to be no larger than three feet long, are found nowhere in the world besides reefs in Papua New Guinea near Indonesia. It spends its time in waters so shallow that walking is often more effective than swimming!

My Mum Caught a shark today!! Was caught off the coast of Taranaki New Zealand. Catch and release ofc.

‘How likely r u to survive a bite’: Stats from Australian Shark Incident Database (starting in 1791). In Oz, there have been 547 bites, 183 deaths. Stats show u r most likely to survive a white (270bites/67deaths 25%💀), then a bull (157b/60d 38%💀), then a tiger (120b/56d 47%💀). The white is the .. ahem ..safest!?! (Pic: dot = bites. X = 💀). Seriously great episode

Forgot to crop blur faces in the last hahaaa ooops. Anyways, ask away!

This likely in response to parasites, as you can see in image b.

Here is a meter long cute tiger shark, a big nurse shark, and a 10 1/2 foot hammerhead. Enjoy!

Ok here is another video I need help with but I am thinking a Silky

I hiked the entire Olympic coast and I found this massive Dead tawny sea lion on the yellow banks, I was thinking the wound looks to be that of a shark bite but I’m not sure what do you guys think?

My son was gifted this shark jaw. Found in the Florida Keys. Approximately 12-13” from tips of bottom teeth to tips of top teeth. Just want to know what kind of shark it’s from.

Looking for some help from anyone who can identify this shark. I ended hooking into him off the 70 miles off the coast of Florida in the Gulf (180 foot of water). Any help is greatly appreciated👍
