🦈 Daily Shark Fact: 🦈

School Sharks (aka Tope Sharks) are migratory species. Individuals tagged in the United Kingdom have been recovered in the Azores, the Canary Islands, and Iceland. Those tagged in Australia have travelled distances of 750 miles along the coast and others have turned up in New Zealand. Wow!

Once again I am here to present a cool creature for you folks. I initially thought I'd switch it up by showing a non-aquatic animal but it seemed I failed in that regard. So without further ado, this week's kneecap dealer's creature is-

LEOPARD SHARK

Look at this magnificent creature! The lovely shape and even lovelier pattern! This gorgeous (mostly) nocturnal being can get up to 2.13 meters long (7 feet), but pose virtually no threat to humans, so you don't have to fear them.

The leopard shark diet consists of things like crabs, fish eggs, and innkeeper worms when young. As the sharks get older, they start eating more fish and less crabs.

They're found along the Pacific coast of North America, from Oregon, US, to Mazatlán, Mexico.

Their life span is approximately 30 years in the wild, and 20 years in captivity. Speaking of life, female leopard sharks move to shallow waters to give birth to anywhere from 7 to 36 baby sharks.

Bigeye houndshark - Lago omanensis

Least concern

The bigeye houndshark lives in deep waters from the western Indian Ocean, southwestern India, and the Red Sea. It feeds on other bony fishes and bottom creatures. They are named for their eyes, which are much larger in comparison to other hound sharks. They are brownish-gray in color, with long bodies.

Zebra Shark (Stegostoma tigrinum), family Stegostomatidae, Byron Bay, NSW, Australia

ENDANGERED.

This shark gets its name from the appearance of the juveniles, which are striped.

In parts of its range, it is sometimes called the Leopard Shark. There is, however, another shark referred to commonly as the Leopard Shark. Triakis semifasciata, a kind of houndshark, that lives along the Pacific Coast of North America from Oregon to Mexico.

May I request reader with Hydra and the knight at the aquarium looking at sea turtles? I need a pick me up. And nothing fixes the sad like space marines and turtles.

𝔐𝔞𝔯𝔦𝔫𝔢 𝔐𝔲𝔰𝔢𝔲𝔪

𝕬𝖚𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖗: You definitely may, little admirer! I hope your day brightens up with some Sea Turtles, and a silly Hydra. (Apologies, if this one is quick. It was hard to imagine them going to an Aquarium, but I did it!)

𝕿𝖆𝖌𝖌𝖊𝖉: @kit-williams, @egrets-not-regrets.

𝕾𝖚𝖒𝖒𝖆𝖗𝖞: Taking Hydra, and Solor to an aquarium.

TW // None?

Walking through the shark tunnel. There were all types of different fish I didn’t recognize all around, including some sharks. Their forms just slowly passing by.

It was calming just to watch them pass by the glass. Not bothered by the fact of their containment, or the people beyond the glass.

A sudden big shadow passed overhead as Hydra cooed in wonder. His helmet looking up at the creature.

It was a Whale Shark with a school of fish following it. It’s mesmerizing, dotted skin reflecting in the light of the aquarium.

Hydra cooed at me again, pointing at a much smaller Shark in the aquarium. His gauntlet lightly tapping against the glass.

“Woah there Hydra, the fish can feel that.” I informed the Alpha legion. Coming over to him, sliding my much smaller hand into his. Stopping his tapping on the glass, a questioning rumble coming from him. “The sound pressure in the water is four times higher than it is in the air.”

I only remember that, by reading the obvious warning signs all over the place that said “DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS.”

“The Shark you also were looking at was called a Leopard Shark. A species of Houndshark.” I said, reading another sign.

Looking back I watched the little spotted shark, its colors reminding me of that of a snow leopard. Its little body calmly roaming at the bottom of the water.

Looking around for any other interesting fish, I found a sign that said “Sea turtles” and immediately dragged both the Astartes over to them. Passing by people who got out of the way immediately.

Spotting the sea turtles in the new room, I let go of Hydras gauntlet and went for them.

“There are seven species of Sea turtles, and six of them are threatened with extinction.” I heard a worker here say. Her hand gestured to the shallow water in front of her. A little area of sea turtles swimming in it. “Here we have the Loggerhead Sea turtles!”

Looking into the water, there were Sea Turtles swimming peacefully in the water, their shells nearly rippling up against the surface of the water.

“These guys can live up to 70 to 80 years! Pretty long huh?” The worker continued, getting a bunch of ‘wows’ from her gathered crowd before she asked. “Would you guy’s like to know some fun facts about these little sea creatures?” Another uproar answering her as I watched a sea turtle breach the surface of the water, sneezing before it went back under.

“Sea turtles don’t have teeth! They use their beak-like mouths to eat, and it’s made of keratin! The same stuff as your fingernails.” The worker started her facts while I leaned over the railing to watch the roaming Sea turtles. Some of them swimming in a slow pattern.

“M-Ma’am?” A young male voice called at me, looking over. It was a nervous young man, dressed in the aquarium's uniform with blue eyes looking behind me so often.

“Yes?” I questioned him as he fidgeted with his fingers. A splash sounding out.

“I- Yes, s-sorry. I uhh… is that your Astartes over there?” The young man questioned, pointing to the side of him where there stood a Hydra in a pool of water.

“Oh my- yes, that one is mine” I sighed. Should have known something like this would happen with Hydra.

“Can you… possibly. Get him out of there? I don’t want to call anybody for him.” He requested nicely.

“Yes, I will try to do that. No need for calling anybody.” I said, passing him to go to the pool where Hydra was in.

“Hydra, no! Get out of the water!” I yelled at him. His helmet looking at me, cooing as he picked up a Sea turtle. Lifting the poor creature up to his helmet. “No! Put the Sea Turtle down!”

Hydra gave a low whine, moving the turtle around so he can look face to helmet to the turtle.

“No! We can’t keep them! They are an endangered species! Let them be!” I explained a little, hoping that will stop him from messing with the turtles.

Though, of course it didn’t. He just picked up another turtle with his other gauntlet.

“Damn it! Solor, he's all yours.” I sighed, rubbing my forehead as Solor rumbled happily in acceptance. Hydras helmet snapping up at the order I’ve given to the Gray Knight.

I watched for a second as Hydra slowly put the Sea turtles back down into the water. Their own languages coming from their helmets before Hydra suddenly took off with Solor following.

“I’m sorry about this.” I apologized to the young man who came up to me again.

“It’s uh- no problem, really?” The worker questioned himself, watching as the two Astartes dodged each other, being mindful of the area around them.

“I hope it wasn’t.” I responded, giving the two an amused look as Solor got a grip on Hydras armor, tugging him back toward him. The two clashing together.

Well, I don’t think we’ll be aloud to another aquarium anytime soon.

𝕭𝖔𝖓𝖚𝖘:

“Wha? Where did you get all the Sea turtle’s?!” I asked Hydra, my hands on my hips. Observing the many turtles that surrounded him in the front yard.

Hydra rumbled, picking up one and extended a Sea Turtle out at me. Tilting his head.

“Hydra, no.”

🦈 Daily Shark Fact: 🦈

Most Leopard Sharks are “homebodies” that remain in the same area for much of their lives. They prefer muddy bay habitats, estuaries and occasionally patrol the kelp forests, usually staying near the bottom. They are most common in the shallow waters of northern California. It’s rarely found in water more than 65 feet deep, although some have strayed as deep as 300 feet

AU where Midoriya has a shark mutation Quirk

sharky boy!

1- Izuku has many shark-y characteristics, including multiple rows of very sharp teeth that he never has to brush, a dorsal fin, and skin that dries out rather easily. In order to be able to not be crushed by his own weight, Izuku does have bones and isn't all cartilige- but more cartiliage than a quirkless human for sure.

2- i dont know if he's a houndshark or catshark or leopardshark or whaleshark or some unindentifiable kind BUT hes def a kind with spots and speckles in place of his freckles.

3- His second favorite hero is Gang Orca, but All Might's still number one. he also honestly gets a little put out with how everyone expects Gang Orca to be his top favorite just because of how he looks, and not because Gang Orca is an incredibly talented hero who deserves it

4- Katsuki used to declare Izuku an adequate sidekick or slightly lower hero- able to reach double digit rankings one day, but not going to be able to beat him as the next Number One, and he was allowed to play hero with them as any other, but then Izuku annoyed him when he stopped him from going after weaker kids or derided them for their quirks, so Katsuki pushed back and they sorta... ended up with opposing cliques in middle school. Izuku doesnt really think its a clique and honestly doesnt dislike Katsuki so much as he's disapointed, but most mutation-type quirk kids flock to him, as well as though he defends or people too annoyed with Katsuki, where others flock to Katsuki. The teachers at Aldera are torn between seeing them both as troublemakers or potential heroes, so treatment swings wildly between classes.

5- After Mirio says 'no thanks' to OfA and the other 2 big three turn him down, All Might decides the third-years don't need it and bides his time to see if any other kids in the other grades make an impression. After the USJ, where Izuku planned with Tsuyu for him to get the lake villains to chase him away from the boat while she deployed their impromptu weapons and nets, and later bit two of Shigaraki's fingers off, he has... certainly made an impression.

#'he what' i said what i said #anyway tossing out the stupid quirked killed ofa thing as i am wont to #now does izuku say 'no thanks' too or 'yes pls' idk #he'll have shigaraki's eyes on him anyway lololol #deusverve #pocket talks to people #ask game

Bigeye Houndshark

Habitat & Distribution

Found only in the Indian Ocean, particularly around the Red Sea, Gulf of Oman, the coast of India and the Bay of Bengal

Lives at depths of 110 to 2,200 m (360 to 7,220 ft)

Physical Distribution

Weight: 0.39 kg (0.85 lbs) on average

Length: 50 cm (19.6 in) on average

Bigeye sharks have long bodies and a pointed nose; for their size, their eyes are extremely large

Most invididuals are brown with a light underbelly

Behaviour

Bigeye sharks are bottom-dwellers, where they feed primarily on bony fishes, cephalopods, and crustaceans

They are likely prey of other, larger sharks

Like most sharks, they are solitary hunters and only seek out other individuals to mate

Key Advantages

The bigeye shark's large eyes allow it to see in extremely low-light conditions

See where they stand in the May Mammal Madness Tournament here!
