r/sharks

Saw this on my Insta fyp. Are we deadass.

I turned 30 today. That means 30 years of drawing sharks!
...give or take...
I often say sharks were my first love. While I have diversified my subject palette, sharks still remain a firm favorite.

Scientists have finally captured the first-ever footage of a live goblin shark (Mitsukurina owstoni) in its natural deep-sea habitat! Before this breakthrough, humans had only ever seen these rare creatures alive when they were accidentally dragged to the surface by fishing lines—where they usually died right away. This deep-ocean predator has an ancient lineage stretching back to the Cretaceous period and features a bizarre, spring-loaded "slingshot" jaw that shoots forward to snatch prey in pitch-black darkness.

Hi everyone, I got sent this video of a shark sighting that allegedly took place few days ago in the Northern Tyrrhenian sea region. What species are we looking at?

An oils on canvas, 24 x 36 inches! Up for grabs on my website

I don’t trust google anymore with the AI :( TIA

It was months in planning and more months in renovation than anticipated. But, I'm really happy with the finished product. We wanted the rental to be JAWS inspired, but no movie poster decor was allowed. I'd welcome your feedback. I'm really pleased with how it turned out, but there is always room to make fun changes.

Personally I’d say evenly rated or underrated

Hi! I got this in Greece and would like to know what species of shark this belongs to 😊

I’ve had these shark teeth for several years. Got them at some roadside store in Cape Town, SA. Natural logic (due to proximity) has always made me believe the larger ones belonged to a Great White. But what’s the first one? Image search tells me it’s a Sand Tiger tooth. Any other guesses?
