One of my whale shark stickers! This one is of Taroko, a male whale shark at the Georgia Aquarium. He has a very pretty, curved tail. Though you can’t see them here, he also has tons of tiny freckles on his chin. Some of his freckles form a distinctive squiggle shape. Taroko is definitely a very cute shark!

If you want him as a sticker, go to redbubble.com/people/typusdata! ALL proceeds go towards whale shark conservation or our website, which is dedicated to education.

#Repost from the Awesome conservationist @steve_woods_photography @download.ins --- Being in the open ocean, surrounded by sharks is where feel most at home. These animals are not mindless killers, but intelligent, hyper-evolved animals that play a vital part in our marine ecosystem. If we don’t have a healthy population of sharks, our fisheries will collapse, meaning the roughly 3 billion people that rely directly on wild caught sea food will be pushed into economic and food insecurity. This in turn means mass migration, giving rise to pressures on health systems, job markets and education systems. So saving sharks DIRECTLY affects you wether or not you love, or even like them. We have a petition to end the private importation of shark fin into the UK, but we need to act NOW! We need 35,000 more signatures in 8 days. PLEASE go to my bio and click the link to sign the petition (you will need to be a UK resident). PLEASE SHARE this post so that we can harness the power of social media to push this out to a wider audience. Help us save the sharks now! It is always hard to see the benefit in small actions, but this is something that we can all watch and be proud of. WE can make the change today!

#Repost from @sharktopia with @ming.app . 🔥 We NEED sharks alive and thriving if we want to ensure our own future. 70% of our oxygen comes from HEALTHY Oceans...and in order to remain healthy, sharks are a vital and irreplaceable key component! Despite how much we need them alive, more than 100 MILLION sharks are slaughtered every single year. We are witnessing ‘the end’ grow nearer every single day. It’s not a time to tone down the dramatic vibe. It’s time to yell louder, call for action, seriously nix the excuses, stop using single-use plastics, and do whatever we can to protect ALL sharks. Every moment counts. 🦈❤️🦈 #sharkfinning #sharkfinsoup #endsharkfinning #jaws #notamonster #savesharks #sharkconservation #sharkweek #bansharkfinning #bansharkfinsoup https://www.instagram.com/p/B6x62ydhvMe/?igshid=suuyvwbyl0qn

Most members of the hammerhead family are Endangered, Critically Endangered, or Data Deficient. This iconic group of sharks is in desperate need of conservation support and research. Make sure to support shark groups like the IUCN Shark Specialist Group to help these amazing predators! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #bonnethead #bonnetheadshark #hammerheadshark #hammerhead #shark #sharks #sharkeducation #dontfearthefin #endsharkfinning #helpsavesharks #savesharks #savethesharks #replacefearwithfacts
