Sharks (like other animals too) are very curious creatures and will sometimes investigate random objects at the surface like floaties

These small sharks have a long, thin body and tiny round fins. Their eyes are very large compared to their head

Did you know? Some sharks will often group together inside caves or crevices to rest!

Did you know? There are two species of lemon sharks. 🍋🦈
The sicklefin lemon shark (Negaprion acutidens) and the lemon shark (Negaprion brevirostris)

Their appearances are similar except the fins of the sicklefin lemon shark are more curved

Sure they can be quick if they want to! But they generally swim slower than other sharks (like the smaller reef species for example)
Btw that sounds so awesome you're so lucky to experience this! :)

Tiger sharks are generally a slow moving species compared to other sharks. But they are can make quick bursts of speed if they have to!

Yeah I noticed that people are abandoning the site again too

My opinion on this is that bsky needs to achieve it's own success. For now, it only counts on those who left twt and the app is just a copy/simpler version of it with some basic stuff still missing. They need to do smth unique here

Sharks are friends @sharkseveryday.bsky.social · Jul 30

Bluesky's algorithm either hates me or my acc is shadowbanned, or smth. My posts don't even get half the interactions I get on twitter. I'm not upset, i just wonder why lol

The "early life, obsession with" meme with sharks.

The image shows a wikipedia page with three options: "early life, obsession with, death". Under the "obsession with" button there are 8 sharks, blue shark, scalloped hammerhead, bull shark, great white, whale shark, pyjama shark, shortfin mako and Pelagic thresher (the species selections are kinda random, I'd add all sharks if I could lol)

Silvertip shark (Carcharhinus albimarginatus) 💙

These sharks are viviparous and give birth to 1 to 11 pups per litter

A silvertip shark swimming to the right direction.
These guys have a "classic" shark appearance. They're grey on top with a white underside and large eyes. They can easily be identified by the white color on the edges of their fins

These guys can swim in both freshwater and saltwater. The sharks in the genus Glyphis are known as river sharks
