The shark is a sand tiger? On your repost of the sea animals
YOURE RIGHT
Sand tiger shark :3
I did actually look up tiger sharks just to see but they didn’t look like they matched. Never heard of this shark before lol but it’s super cool looking. 2 eve sized dorsal fins are really something too! You don’t usually see them like that! That second one is huge! Definitely a looker
Okay turns out I HAVE actually heard of this shark before. It’s one of the rare sharks that have pups (that’s what baby sharks are called) eat others in the womb! Isn’t that nice! Guess i just forgot the specific shark that went to lol

I'd love some lemon shark facts 💛
Lemon Shark or Negaprion brevirostris
They get their name from their yellowish brown coloring. Lemon sharks, unlike the lone-shark stereotype, enjoy hanging out in groups! They even have preferred individuals to hang out with!

NEW HAMMERHEAD SHARK JUST DROPPED
Not every day does a new shark get discovered! Meet the Shovelbill Shark (Sphyrna alleni), a newly described species of hammerhead shark named after Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Paul Allen. This new species is found in the coastal waters of the Caribbean and southwest Atlantic.
Hammerhead sharks are easily recognized by their laterally expanded and dorsoventrally compressed heads. Genetic studies have revealed that what was once thought to be a single bonnethead species (Sphyrna tiburo) is actually a complex, with Sphyrna alleni now recognized as a separate species. A longtime advocate for wildlife conservation, Paul Allen and his Paul G. Allen Family Foundation supported Global FinPrint, an international survey of the world’s reef sharks and rays. It was during this project that scientists conducted much of the fieldwork necessary to describe this newly recognized species. The Shovelbill Shark is smaller than the bonnethead, with distinct genetic and morphological characteristics, including a different number of vertebrae, which suggest it is separate from other hammerhead species. This new species is distributed from Belize to Southern Brazil, inhabiting estuaries, coral reefs, sandy and muddy bottom beds, seagrasses, and mangroves.
The Shovelbill Shark is a common component of artisanal fisheries in many Latin American countries and currently lacks proper management or protection. Previous reports indicate that this new species is undergoing overexploitation, making it imperative to safeguard their populations and establish fisheries regulations.
