You might think this shark has ghost-like white eyes, but actually, some species of sharks have a type of 'eyelid' called a nictitating membrane! 👀🦈

This shark is pretty chunky! Do you think she's a mom-to-be, or did she just have a really big lunch? 😉👼🦈

What a drag it must be to have SO many teeth!

Did you know that great white sharks can have up to 300 teeth at a time? 😱 You can't see them all, but they have multiple rows behind their visible teeth that are lining up to replace old or loose ones. This makes sure that their teeth are always sharp and ready for action! 🤩🦈

Did you know that tiger sharks have a direct impact on the health of seagrass beds?🌱

We all know that sea turtles are one of a tiger shark's favourite snacks... By predating on them, the sharks create what is known as a "landscape of fear" for the turtles. 🐢❌

Scientists in Hawaii have found that when tiger sharks are present in an area, sea turtles graze on seagrass over a broader area. When tiger sharks disappear from an area, the turtles will only focus on certain areas where the seagrass is of the best quality and those habitats are soon destroyed by overgrazing. 🌊🦈

So the sharks keep the ecosystem healthy by influencing the presence of the turtles in an area - all the more reason to keep them around! 🦈🤩

to one of our special visitors last year 😍 We are hoping to see more of these lovely faces this year 🦈 Unfortunately, this lady had some fishing line trailing from her mouth. This sheds some light on the continuous problem that these sharks have with fishing practices. We hope that many more of her friends also evaded the danger! 🦈🌊

Thinking of buying a shark tooth necklace? Here’s the truth: most shark tooth jewelry is made from teeth taken from sharks killed for souvenirs. This contributes to the decline of these vital ocean predators. Instead, choose fossilized shark teeth! These natural treasures are found in sediment, not from harm. 🦈🦷

By making ethical choices, you help protect sharks and support conservation efforts. Let’s keep sharks thriving where they belong—wild and free in the ocean. 🌊

From the surface it may not look like bronze whalers have teeth, but they have razor sharp, needle-like teeth, which serve them perfectly for their diet of fish, squid and small shark species 😎🦈
