shark list…?

SHARK LIST!!!!!

This is another list that's based mostly off vibes and aesthetic rather than any deep analytical reasons, though I do have some deeper reasons for these choices but let's just focus on vibe for today

RAPH: Tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier)

LEO: Common thresher shark (Alopias vulpinus)

DONNIE: Scalloped hammerhead (Sphyrna

lewini)

MIKEY: Leopard shark (Triakis semifasciata)

BONUS

APRIL: Epaulette shark (Hemiscyllium ocellatum)

SPLINTER: Spotted wobbegong (Orectolobus maculatus)

DRAXUM: Horned shark (Heterodontus francisci)

CASEY JONES: Sandbar shark (Carcharhinus plumbeus)

CASEY JR: Blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus)

I promise I wasn't ignoring this ask I was just thinking very deeply about the answer to this list for not only the rise brothers but the direct family ensemble and wanted it to be the best list that I could make (tbh I made this list more for myself and is super based off my personal opinions. I'm a huge shark fan and was really excited to get this ask so I wanted it be a list I was confident in)

#rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #rise mikey #rise leo #rise donnie #rise raph #rise splinter #rise april #rise casey jones #rise casey jr #sharks #tw shark #peachmoths ask tag #fun fact like five of the sharks on this list are sharks i have at my work LMFAO #oh and if you were wondering my top 5 fave sharks list it goes whale shark leopard shark nurse shark bamboo shark and black tip reef shark #i really like carpet sharks can you tell lmfaooooo

Send “🐶” For a drawing of your muse as my muse’s species: Selectively accepting

I think Vivo would be a horn shark (Heterodontus francisci)— a species of shark found in South America like kinkajous. I’ve always found these sharks to have some of the cutest-looking faces, which fits well with Vivo’s cuddly charisma! Plus the species’ color fits Vivo’s golden fur.

Featured Species: California Horn Shark (Heterodontus francisci)

This week’s Featured Species is just so frickin’ cute! The California Horn Shark (Heterodontus francisci) is a relatively small shark, reaching an average of 3.5 feet (1.06 m) in length. Like other bullhead sharks in Heterodontidae, they have broad eye ridges on blunt heads and pig-like snouts. They also sport two spines in front of their two dorsal fins. Hershman, D. (Photographer).

Baby Horn Shark seeks refuge in an eelgrass meadow on Anacapa Island, Channel Islands, California

Native to the coastal waters of western North America, horn sharks (Heterodontus francisci) are easily identified by their spots and paired dorsal spines. Known not only for their spines, horn sharks lay conspicuous spiral-shaped eggs!

Not much longer than a meter when fully grown, these invertebrate-eating predators are most active at night, but can still be seen in kelp forests, eelgrass meadows, and around sandy bottoms during the day!

Manipulation and Mermen || Viv & Oz

@ozheik

Every so often, not that one would guess it, Vivienne liked to explore aquariums and museums in whichever town she happened to be passing through. She’d sat and studied the cephalopods at the National Aquarium, she’d even helped feed the elusive Heterodontus francisci (Horn Shark) at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. She found the peaceful, blue ambience calming and conducive to refocusing her mind, especially if there was a particularly difficult problem she was trying to solve.

Now that she was stuck in Ashbourne, there were very few places she could go to refocus on the simpler species she’d already studied so many times before. She’d already worn out the small museum, but today she figured she might as well try out... “Carp-e-diem” – seriously? Vivienne rolled her eyes at the large sign hanging above her head. Puns. Why was it always puns.

The place was small, housing mostly the usual conservation installations and exhibits, but there were at least a few exhibits on species she was unfamiliar with. Though there were no live samples, there were some very interesting placards describing naiads and merfolk. Merfolk. Who would have ever thought she would be so lucky to become trapped in a town just teeming with new specimens. Every day felt like the universe was giving her a damn birthday celebration.

Letting her mind wander, Viv became entranced in the Craspedacusta sowerbyi (freshwater jellyfish) display, her eyes gently following the glowing invertebrates. She hardly even noticed the other people in the facility, causing her to softly bump into a tall man who seemed to be trying a little too hard to be a Scandanavian Aquaman, complete with flowing, sun bleached hair.

“Apologies, I didn’t see you there.” Polite. It was worthwhile to be polite if you wanted to get anywhere with these people. “Do you, er... enjoy the jellyfish as well?”

The name “horn shark” is sometimes used to refer to the nine sharks of the genus Heterodontus; however, to avoid confusion with the species called “horn sharks”, Heterodontus francisci, this genus is more often referred to as bullhead sharks.

Top 10 Unusual Sharks in the World

Shark is one of the most feared creatures found on the planet Earth. People are scared of them but still are loved by some while some hunt them.

There are over 400 species of shark across the world. We have listed down the top ten unusual sharks.

1. Angel Shark (Squatina squatina): These sharks are critically endangered species found in North-eastern Atlantic. These sharks look more like a ray than a member of its own species. They are flat and have wide-bodies.

2. Horn Shark (Heterodontus francisci): These sharks are found along the Western Coasts of the Americas. They have short, blunt heads with high ridges above the eyes and large fin spines.

3. Great Hammerhead Shark (Sphyrna mokarran): They are endangered species found in most of the world’s ocean. They can be easily seen because of their hammer-shaped heads. Their eyes are placed on either side of the hammer, allowing them to see larger areas.

4. Basking Shark (Cetorhinus maximus): They are the second-largest living fish in the world. They are vulnerable to endanger and are found in the Arctic to temperate oceans of the World.

5. Sawshark (Pristiophoriformes): They are found in Indo-Pacific and Atlantic oceans. They have snouts, which are long and lined with teeth to slash their prey.

6.Common Thresher Shark (Alopias vulpinus): They are a vulnerable species found in Temperate Oceans. They are big in size because of their long tails.

7.Wobbegong or Carpet Shark (Orectolobidae): They are nearly threatened species found in the Indo-Pacific Ocean. They have specialized gills that allow them to stay still and pounce on their prey when it comes near.

8. Nurse Shark (Ginglymostoma cirratum): They are found in Tropical and Subtropical parts of the Atlantic and Pacific. They hunt fast sleep sea creatures from their hiding spots at night.

9. Goblin Shark (Mitsukurina owstoni): They are found in parts of the Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic Oceans. They have protruding jaws, and they snap up their prey with their long sharp teeth.

10. Frilled Shark (Chlamydoselachus anguineus): They are very rare but found in every ocean. They have lizard-like features and snake-like bodies. There are over 300 sharp three-pronged teeth inside their wide mouths.

There are many Australian fish species pictures are available on our website. ANIMA has provided high-quality illustrations worldwide..

There are over 500 species of shark known to exist in the ocean. Half of these are actually less than 1 meter in length, like the Horn Shark Heterodontus francisci. Horn sharks are a species of bullhead shark endemic to the western coast of North America (they are only found here and nowhere else on Earth). These sharks spend their nights hunting for prey near their homes, and during the day they'll retreat to their shelters to rest and hide. Their activities are entirely controlled by the light. Young sharks actually prefer deeper, sandy waters while adults will move into shallower rocky reefs and algae beds. The IUCN has not recorded enough data on this shark species to accurately determine its threat of extinction. These animals aren't targeted in fisheries, but in Mexico they are more commonly caught as by-catch in gill-net fishing.
