TIGER SHARK APPRECIATION!!

NURSE SHARK AAAAAAA

A Nice Nurse Shark

Requested by @internetdog06

Yes, it’s true! Sharks can be smooth! The nurse shark (Ginglymostoma cirratum) defies many shark stereotypes, from their appearance to their demeanor and, yes, the texture of their skin. Although they have a bad reputation among divers for their bite, these sharks are more often slow, shy, and skittish. These traits, combined with its distinctive whiskers, give rise to its other common name: the cat shark.

G. cirratum resides in warm shallow waters, including coral reefs, mangroves, seagrass beds, and cliff edges. They can be found in both the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean along the coasts of North America, Central America, South America, and West Africa. Wherever they live they are bottom dwellers; they spend most of their days swimming slowly along the ocean floor or lounging near the reefs. Another stereotype broken: nurse sharks do not need to move continuously to breathe.

Despite their shy nature, the nurse shark’s size can make it an intimidating threat to any other fish– or people– that happen to spot it. G. cirratum can be between 3 and 4.5m long and can weigh up to 115 kg. And, yes, their skin is smooth, more like a dolphin’s than a shark’s. Their mouths don’t resemble that of other shark either, lacking the distinctive large, triangular teeth. Rather, they have several rows of smaller fan-shaped serrated teeth in a small, round mouth; best for crushing shellfish and coral. They also make for good defense, primarily against other sharks, curious humans, and occasionally American Alligators.

These sharks are suction feeders, and are able to draw invertebrates and small fish into their mouths from up to 3 cm away. They hunt mainly at night, swimmingly slowly along the ocean floor in search of food. During the day return to a home area to rest with other nurse sharks. Within these groups, also called shivers, they communicate mainly using sound, touch, and electroreception. Their distinctive ‘mustaches’ may be used for the latter two senses, forming a similar role to a cat’s whiskers.

Nurse sharks are territorial, both in their daily resting places and their mating sites. Individuals will return every summer to the same area to reproduce. Males and females with both mate with multiple partners, although males are known to ‘flush out’ competing sperm before copulation to ensure their genetics are the ones passed on, although litters with multiple paternities are common. Males also reinforce social hierarchies by biting both other males and females, which they reinforce within their day-to-day groups. G. cirratum is an ovoviviparous species which means the eggs hatch within the mother, and she give slive birth to about 20 pups after a 5 to 6 month pregnancy. Young cat sharks are spotted, and only grow into their brown coloring when they reach sexual maturity, at around 10 to 20 years old.

Conservation status: The IUCN lists the Nurse Shark as Vunerable. Historically they have been captured for their fins, skin and meat, as well as for the aquarium trade. They are also caught as by-catch in fishing nets. However, the species has several protected habitats along the North and Central American Atlantic coast and is currently being evaluated to better protect its migratory pathways.

what is your favorite shark.... very important

either the nurse shark or gonlin shark 😍

guys the other day i was playing roblox and i was in a Universal Studios remake thingy and one of the rides showed several different bits from different movies and actually shrieked when Jaws when mentioned.

In Chief Martin Brody we trust

me when Martin Brody

me watching ella do anything

THEYRE SO CUTE

Doughnut whale sharks 🍩✨

I love sharks so much im gonna cry

in honor of shark week starting tomorrow 🦈

Silly whimsical shark fact: Sharks are older than trees, when sharks came to be there were only fungi sticking out of the ground.

my discord pfp is Martin Brody and my tumblr pfp is a great white. This is so ironic i love it

Baldness is for nerds this is a battle to the death. If you have the same character/pfp on both platforms you have to decide which is the superior.

You have to explain your reasoning in the reblogs too

GUYS IM GONNA LOSE IT I NEED TO MEET MARTIN BRODY.

these two are so homosexual. you CANNOT tell me otherwise

nobody understands like sharjs in my aquarium like i do

Fun fact of the day

YALL IM ALIVE 😍😍😍

REALL 🔥

thinking ab jaws again. babe get the straight jacket

YALL CUSTOM WORD BURNING AND JAWS COLLAB

also back on the Quint fidgeting thing he CONSTANTLY has a toothpick in his mouth and he is like flipping it around and such in his mouth.

ummmm even if you just made a bulletpoint list of all of quint's autistic traits i would be soooo unbelievably happy, you have no idea (':

ILL HAVE TO SOME TIME THIS IS SUCH A GOOD POST IDEA… tbh a lotttt of the autistic traits i’ll give him are really just projection and HEAVY interpretation but the two i can think of off the top of my head right now are his tone of voice (even when he’s trying to be nice/sociable he sounds like he’s being a dick, like when he’s trying to show brody how to tie the knots) and i feel like he’s always kinda fidgeting with something? (i can’t remember exactly where the scene is but there’s one scene where he’s talking to brody and is just absentmindedly tying what i’m pretty sure is a loose piece of rope? and then in the cabin scene he’s always either messing with the food scraps, his mug, or his cap)

guys looking at sharks is my favorite hobby now

Tattoo commission I made for a friend! ✨

With her favorite sharks snouts! Whale shark, Thresher shark, Mako shark and Goblin shark!

More sharkart in me Instagram! 🦈

Do you know the game Hytale? This game seems to be a competitor of Minecraft, it is being developed by a group of people involved in the Minecraft Modding community! Watch the Trailer!

Naturally, they made sharks just like the generic aggressive monstrous enemy with no depth whatsoever, so I decided to contribute some ideas of creatures to the oceans of Hytale!

In some of these ideas, I explored fantasy abstractions of tonic immobility and electro-sense, characteristics of sharks that I never saw being explored creatively. I have no idea if the developers will care about my ideas, but at least I tried! If you want to follow me on instagram, this is: @AstralRequin

they are swimming around ur blog

Here's some Overhaul doodles I drew in mah new 'DESIGNER JOURNAL' i got for christmas! plus one Magne drawing cause I got upset that she barely had proper screen time

I didn't draw much

so

uh

yeeah

I was gonna draw more but i decided to abandon ship because of a crazy ass d r e am loll

I've never really drawn Overhaul before, at least his head, and ngl this whole page was me trying to figure out how to draw his hair without it making it look like he has a bigg ass forehead- and- uh- well- yeeeeah.

He's definitally a Drama Queen, that green jacket WITH the purple fur??? like- AND he wears it with confidence??

slay.

In this one I tried remaking my 'Egirl Overhaul' pic I drew for shits and giggles, If i can find where it is i'll post it for you all to see

Overhaul: Kurono do NOT talk to me, I'm doing my mascara.

THIS MAN'S EYELASHES THO. WHY ARE THEY SO GOOD??? like either he has really good genetics or he purposely does mascara on just his bottom lashes

just- this cutie patootie...

who does-

child abuse

Have some Magne because she deserves Justice

JUSTICE FOR MAGNE.

anyways-

here's one of my favourites I made

now, WHY did I draw Overhaul with two small sharks crawling over him like puppy dogs?

well, y'all about to loose yer damn mind

BECAUSE HE H A S SHARKS!!

LOOK AT HIM!! HE'S A SHARK DAD!!! WTH SHARK CHIDLREN!!!

soo context, I bought a overhaul action figure for christmas (since it was the only mha fig in the store but we ain't gon talk about that-) and my parents got me this shark excavation kit for christmas. aaand once I found how tiny the sharks were (the excavation area was so big tho?? tf Natintonal geographic?? waste???) I decided to give them to Overhaul! and they fit in his arms so perfectly I made it canon that he has sharks.

I. freakin love Sharks.

ANYWHO.

hope yah enjoyed

I'll defintally go and find the Egirl Overhaul pic. I think I drew Egirl Dabi & Shigaraki too, and MAYBE aizawa but I can't remember...

I belon infederal prison-

Hey guys! I'm a streamer on youtube now! (I'm officially cooked)

Please go sub, I'm broke-

More on our bonnethead sharks! These sharks are in the same family as hammerheads but they are much much smaller. Our largest female is about as big as they get, around 3ft long. They are the only known species of omnivorous shark.

Okay so my blorbo Lev found this adorable little shark chair and said it would be perfect for Sam and Max and ya know what? They were right

This is so cute, I might weep openly

Here’s a merperson oc, his name is Bait and he’s a shark that I can’t find the name of that I saw at an aquarium
