Woah mama! I appreciate the traction of the first shark poll, so here is another for so many beloved friends who did not fit the first one! Shark fans,

I truly did have many of the species listed here in mind with the previous poll, I just did not have the space and had to prioritise some sharks I knew were longtime favourites! But worry not… no more! SHARK FANS COME GET YOUR JUICE!!!!

What shall I do with the info in the two polls? I dunno. Maybe make another poll with even more sharks? Maybe combine the winners and make them fight to the death? Who knows! Let’s see.

Wait for it…

Say “halo” to the angel shark! This fintastic flat shark is an ambush predator, patiently waiting beneath the surface of the sandy seafloor, prepared to pounce on unsuspecting prey. 

To feed this young shark, our Animal Care staff dangle a delicious delight (baitfish) just above the shark’s head. Once detected, the angel shark lunges, quickly snagging the fish with her jaws and gulping it down whole. Talk about fast food!

Thanks to curator Jonelle for the feeding video!

DYK…

angel sharks body shape is to blame for the common name of these sharks. as you can see from photographs or by scuba diving, angel sharks have long, flat pectoral fins. their pelvic fins are also shaped like wings, although they are smaller. hence their name, their fins are reminiscent of “angel wings.”

angels sharks not known to be overly aggressive, however care should be taken when handling it. The atlantic angel shark can inflict severe lacerations when provoked. according to the International shark attack file, there are no reported attacks attributed to this species.

Special greek shark!!

I'm in Greece right now so for the next couple days I will only cover sharks that can be found around the Mediterranean sea!

Daily shark day 10:

Angel Shark

Squatina squatina, the angelshark or monkfish, is a species of shark in the family Squatinidae (known generally also as angel sharks), that were once widespread in the coastal waters of the northeastern Atlantic Ocean. Well-adapted for camouflaging itself on the sea floor, the angelshark has a flattened form with enlarged pectoral and pelvic fins, giving it a superficial resemblance to a ray. This species can be identified by its broad and stout body, conical barbels, thornless back (in larger individuals), and grayish or brownish dorsal coloration with a pattern of numerous small light and dark markings (that is more vivid in juveniles). It measures up to 2.4 m (7.9 ft) long. Like other members of its family, the angelshark is a nocturnal ambush predator that buries itself in sediment and waits for passing prey, mostly benthic bony fishes, but also skates and invertebrates. An aplacental viviparous species, females bear litters of seven to 25 pups every other year. The angelshark normally poses little danger to humans, though if provoked, it is quick to bite. Since the mid-20th century, intense commercial fishing across the angelshark's range has decimated its population via bycatch – it is now locally extinct or nearly so across most of its northern range, and the prospects of the remaining fragmented subpopulations are made more precarious by its slow rate of reproduction. As a result, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed this species as Critically Endangered.

Mob Psycho 100: Mermaid AU because I'm insane

Mob and Ritsu are angel sharks. Many marmaids have esper powers and differ in size.

Still thinking about character designs for the others, the plot have a lot in common with the canon (especially the ???% arc) but instead of Tsubomi it's Teru.

long time listener first time caller, which shark would you say has the best understanding of greek philosophy?

Hello long time listener!

honestly i know you were kidding but i am now genuinely interested. I have a few sharks that could be most likely to understand greek philosophy (from least to most likely)

3. Angel Shark

Angelsharks are a group of sharks that are known for their flattened shape (almost like a ray)! They eat crustaceans, fish, and molluscs in an "asassin" style - burying in the sand and waiting for prey to walk by to snap them up!

Why i think they'd know greek philosophy: they are the most commonly sighted shark on the Mediterranean (and therefore greek) coastline, living in shallow areas. This means that it's possible for them to hear people on the coastline talking about greek philosophy!

2. Thresher Shark

Thresher sharks are a group of species in the mackrel shark family, known for their long whip-like tails. They use them for hunting schools of fish, where they will use their caudal fin to hit the fish and knock them out! Additionally, a fun fact about them is that they can regulate their internal body temperature! I think their cool hunting method shows that they are more complex than their goofy expression suggests. I mean, just look at their face...

Besides their knowledge, thresher sharks have another reason why they are on this list: they have been written about by aristotle himself!!! He writes about the clever nature of the shark, for biting fishing lines they were attached to and protecting babies in their mouths. If they are smart and have met one of the greatest philosophers of all time, who's to say that they dont know a bit of his philosophy?

1. Shortfin Mako Shark

The shortfin mako shark is a species of shark known for its incredibly high speeds when hunting - the fastest recorded speed being 46 miles per hour (although usually 30 miles per hour)!! Additionally, their bite force is something to be reckoned with, the highest recorded being ~13,000N !! Unlike the other sharks on my list, they are not inheritely from the Mediterranean, and instead are pelagic (ocean) sharks that migrate. They primarily hunt bony fish and cephlapods.

I think these sharks would be most likely to know greek philosophy as they have the largest brain-to-body ratio companies to other sharks. Additionally, they spend a lot of time on their own in open ocean, giving them time to think. It's possible that they could even make up their own philosophical beliefs!

So, thats it! I hope you had fun!! If any shark fans notice a mistaks I have made, please dont be afraid to send me a DM, comment, or reblog!!

This is 100% for fun, i genuinely dont believe any of these sharks actually would know greek philosophy. Im just silly (autistic) like that :3

Just watched some #sharkweek videos by Ben G Thomas and Henry the PaleoGuy, so I felt inspired.

There's just so many species of shark that just look so interesting, like they're just kooky little guys :)
