Fishuary day 22: my favorite!
Tumblr media
yes i am back. i had a rough time with like two days in a row and then i just. didnt do them for a sec. but i am back now!!!! as you hopefully know i am obsessed with sharks which made it very difficult for me to pick a favorite so i just did all of them :3
flopsy doofus- ive already told the story of flopsy doofus (if you are curious its this post on my other blog that kicked me out) anyway this little guy is a blue shark and im gonna be honest i was gonna do fun facts for all of them but this guy is just. hes just a shark. he is basic and boring. pretty much the one interesting thing is that their litters can have up to 135 pups in it which is a fuckton of babies but still not that interesting in comparison to other sharks (135 PUPS????????????)
round lil guy- this is an oceanic whitetip shark i love them because their fins are rounded instead of pointed which i find extremely cool. fun fact about them is that they basically eat everything. they are always hungry and sometimes they think that trash is fish lmao
pyjama boi- this is a pyjama shark, theyve been one of my favorite sharks for a really long time and one time i came up with a song about them that was literally just me infodumping to the tune of the tooty ta song anyway fun fact about these little guys is that when they feel threatened they curl up in a circle so that their tail is touching their head
what is this guy DOING!!!- this is a coral catshark i became obsessed with them last night when i was looking for reference pictures for a different shark but this was in the results as well so here we are. fun fact about them they can change their colors to blend in with their surroundings. this is because they have specialized cells called chromatophores in their skin, which have pigments that expand or contract
lil nurse- if you couldnt guess already this is a nurse shark i love them because they are really friendly with divers and i hope to swim with them some day. these guys are unique because they can pump water through their gills without swimming so they can just chill on the ground they dont have to be constantly moving like other sharks
little what doing- this is a port jackson shark. it is called little what doing because the picture looks like hes just going "what doing what doing what doing" and i find it unreasonably comical. anyway they have weird mouths and one time my dad said they looked like is someone turned a frog into a fish which i understand what he means but idk how to explain it if you dont understand TOT
@fish-daily
references under the cut as always :DDD

Redoing the first post I ever did on this blog: Trying to assign a shark to CFO🦈
The first time i did this I was honestly very nervous about putting my stupid takes out into the fandom, but I'm ready now, and I have stronger CFO shark opinions. I'm linking to all the sharks' Wikipedia pages, for those interested in sharks!!
I gotta be honest, this is about Charles, but mostly this post is me sharing fun shark facts. I hope you guys are chill with that.
Same as the last time, I still have some honorable mentions.
(ALSO i tagged this post under some shark tags, this is the guy we're talking about, btw, I'd love for you guys to vote in the poll at the bottom of the post)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I considered something like the Basking Shark. However, they're quite large, and I think Charles looks harmless, so the Basking shark was out. Additionally, despite they're large size, they're pretty docile. They're one of the three species of sharks that eat plankton! But, I envisioned a slightly more slender, swift hunter type of shark.
I also considered a type of Thresher Shark, as I liked their unique appearance, but ultimately I couldn't decide on a species. I think I wanted Charles to be one just because they have cool caudal fins.
I very briefly considered The Great White, because to most people that's the shark. But I just wasn't feeling it. They're cute, but I don't see Charles being one.
In the original post I listed The Silky Shark, but I'm taking this back, because now that I think about it, I just wanted Charles to be a Silky Shark because they're my favorite....
Tumblr media
Moving on to the real choices now.
Bull Shark (Carcharhinus leucas)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Bull Shark is one of my favorite sharks. It's in the family Carcharhinidae, which makes it a Requiem Shark! (which is also where I get my tumblr name from) I didn't do this on purpose, but all the sharks in this list are actually Requiem Sharks. Requiem sharks are known for being very fast and efficient hunters, and of course the Bull Shark is no exception. Bull Sharks are known to be aggressive towards people, alongside the Great White and the Tiger shark (though don't let a certain awesome 1975 movie fool you, you're odds of being attacked by sharks are very slim, these bad boys are just know for doing it the most) Bull sharks are euryhaline, meaning they can adapt to water of varying salinity, meaning they can do just fine in freshwater. This sort of adaptability reminds me of Charles, and tbh, I think Bull Sharks just kind of look like him some how.
Blue Shark (Prionace glauca)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Blue Shark looks like a goober. You can find them fucking everywhere, check out this map from Wikipedia. They're one of the most wide-spread shark species!
The Blue Shark's name isn't a stretch, they really are blue! Curious, and not typically aggressive, they've been known to approach divers. They're also known to be more social than other sharks, and sometimes travel in schools separated by sex, at least as juveniles. It's slender, streamlined appearance makes me think of Charles, in the sense that somehow the Blue shark looks like it'd wear a suit, but maybe more like a silly colored suit. Like blue! The long pectoral fins also remind me of him, for some reason. I don't know why, it's not like he has long arms?
If you're familiar with the BLÅHAJ, you may know the blue shark! The common name for Prionace glauca in both Swedish and Dutch is blåhaj, which just means Blue Shark!
Tumblr media
Oceanic Whitetip Shark (Carcharhinus longimanus)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A shark with a very good design, look at that aesthetically pleasing coloring and the rounded fins? This is someone's OC shark, i swear. The Oceanic Whitetip is listed as critically endangered by the IUCN. They cannot pump water through their gills, so they're one of the shark species that has to always be moving! They're more leisurely while swimming, and have been known to breach the water.
Honestly, I think this is a good candidate for Charles shark because I just love the way these sharks look!
Sandbar shark (Carcharhinus plumbeus)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This silly guy is the Sandbar shark, one of the largest costal sharks in the world! They're known for their brownish coloring (another common name for them is the brown shark) and their tall dorsal fin. They also have rather large pectoral fins. They are listed as endangered, as they are hunted for their fins. I chose this shark honestly because it's brown, and the aforementioned tall dorsal fin. I was mostly choosing the sharks based on looks, and this one easily looks the most like Charles to me.
Tumblr media
Anyways, thanks for reading my silly shark post! When I did this like, three months ago, I was working on this AU thingy, but I'd got totally sidetracked trying to assign a damn shark to Charles. The original idea was he was gonna be like... y'know, a mermaid or something, but I never got around to working on it, mostly because of the sharks. If you have any interest in it, I could do Dethklok/any one else from MTL as sharks. Honestly, i'd love an excuse to combine my interests.
Oh also.

🦈 Daily Shark Fact: 🦈
Oceanic Whitetip Sharks are not diurnal which means they are active both day and night. They rely on ram breathing (they have to constantly swim to pump oxygen over their gills), so they never sleep. They are nicknamed the “Dark Knight of the Ocean” (<- -- I appreciate this nickname because I love Batman lol) because they tend to hunt mostly at nighttime. Though they are primarily nocturnal, they will opportunistically feed during the day if an easy meal presents itself.

Oceanic Whitetip (Carcharhinus longimanus)
Size: Up to 4 meters (13 feet) long
Range & Habitat: Oceanic whitetips can be found in pretty much any open ocean tropical or subtropical environment. They are almost never found near shore, though sometimes may be found on off-coast reefs.
Other: Oceanic Whitetips can be identified by their long, distinctive fins with their white tips, as their name suggests. Whitetips are typically the first sharks to arrive on the scene of a far-out sinking ship, and though other pelagic sharks are present, none are as feared by sailors as the whitetip.
