Winner of the Kiss a Shark Week Poll, it’s the Whale Shark!!!

The whale shark is the largest fish in the world! The largest confirmed individual had a length of 18.8 m (61.7 ft)! 

The whale shark is found in open waters of the tropical oceans and is rarely found in water below 21 °C (70 °F). Studies looking at vertebral growth bands (like rings on a tree!) have estimated whale shark lifespans at 80–130 years! 

Whale sharks are filter feeders as well!  They feed almost exclusively on plankton and small fishes, and pose no threat to humans. In fact, divers often like to swim along side whale sharks since they are such gentle giants 

Like human fingerprints, whale sharks have a unique pattern of spots which allow individual sharks to be identified.

Sadly, whale sharks are endangered due to the impacts of fisheries, by-catch losses, and vessel strikes as well as their later sexual maturity. These sharks are also hunted illegally for their fins, skin, and oil. 

There are a few aquariums in the world that successfully keep whale sharks! These include the Georgia Aquarium in the US and the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Japan. 

All in all, these sharks are massive, beautiful, and should be loved and appreciated like all other creatures, and they deserve a kiss from everyone <3

I shared these guys individually in older posts, but here they are side by side (character line ups are always great).  These Shark Dog watercolors were a lot of fun to create. I never realized how diverse sharks were in regards to size and shape…nature is pretty amazing.

Sharks featured: Basking shark, Thresher shark, Sand Tiger shark, Great White shark, Tiger shark, Hammerhead shark, Goblin shark, Horned shark, Whale shark, Frilled shark, Cat shark, and Megamouth shark

“trans people with object names” and “trans people with average names” is missing an untapped market of “trans people with seemingly average shorthand names for absolutely insane full names” for example. max short for Maxwell House Brand Coffee Filters

The best dynamic for a group of characters: every single one of them is the weirdest person you will ever meet, but in wildly different ways.  Every time you think you’ve identified “the normal one” they casually reveal that they don’t think birds exist, or they fistfight grizzly bears on the weekends, or they collect human skulls, and you realize again that none of these people are remotely normal.

Also they’re found family.

i think wildlife presenters narrating predator and prey interactions should spice it up a little. give that terrified little mouse being circled by hawks a sword and see what happens.
