My top 5 favourite sharks
#5 - Hammerhead
Look at that goofy face. Like. Why your eyes so far apart. I am avoiding the obvious joke because I don’t like fruit that already fell onto the ground. Their shovel face is like that because they have the strongest sensory ability of any creature: Electroreception. It can sense the contractions and movements of anything in the ocean. Which is very neat.
#4 - Thresher
Just look at its face. It looks like it’s either tripping on several acids at once or has just seen some shit. They also have a tail as long as the rest of their body that they use as a whip to tenderize their food instantly, which is very neat.
#3 - Whale Shark
They are big, pretty, and nice. They got big square heads which I love. They’re the largest of all fish alive today. They’re just big ol’ filter feeders and very docile so you can just vibe with them no worries. They also have big goofy faces.
#2 - Coral Catshark
This one’s probably niche, but they are small at like 2 feet long and cute and almost threatened and sometimes sleep together in coral crannies during the day. They’re also a little pretty. Definitely somebody’s spirit animal if they knew it existed.
#1 - Blacktip Reef Shark
They may look like normal sharks, but blacktips are my favourite shark. They’re only just over 5 feet long max and have social groups within natural populations, with different group dynamics. They group with other blacktips with similar personalities. Like in school you got your jocks, the nerds, the girly girls, and the weirdos and how those groups interact with eachother, but it’s with sharks in the open sea. I once saw Coyote Peterson handle one that got caught in a tidepool and it was a cute lil guy.

Shark of the day 4:
Black Tip Reef Shark
The blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) is a species of requiem shark, in the family Carcharhinidae, which can be easily identified by the prominent black tips on its fins (especially on the first dorsal fin and its caudal fin). Among the most abundant sharks inhabiting the tropical coral reefs of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, this species prefers shallow, inshore waters. Its exposed first dorsal fin is a common sight in the region. The blacktip reef shark is usually found over reef ledges and sandy flats, though it has also been known to enter brackish and freshwater environments. It typically attains a length of 1.6 m (5.2 ft). Like other sharks, the females are larger than the males. The back tip reef Shark is listed as vulnerable.

My plan is to make pins that not only look cool, but donate straight to the things they represent.
