I came across this photo today in the #SpotAShark database. Unfortunately, both captive and wild Greynurse sharks are prone to spinal deformities such as this. This male was last seen in June 2017 at Magic Point NSW. Don't forget you can upload your photos spotashark.com

"At least 2,491 endangered hammerhead sharks were dumped overboard by commercial fishers in Queensland’s east coast gillnet fishery in 2018" The really horrifying part of this is that most of the hammerheads probably did not survive. #bycatch #fisheries

Shark egg cases vary in their transparency. This one is exceptionally clear, revealing a ~50 day old shark embryo attached to a large yolk sac 🦈

Ever wondered if scientists were able to estimate shark size? Not always easy but apparently, we aren’t too bad with a ~20 cm accuracy for white sharks ranging 2.5-4.5 m (verified using stereo-cameras) royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

New study found that white sharks do navigate through kelp ecosystems in South Africa, rejecting previous theories that they do not.

I saw this at my local Coles Supermarkets supermarket recently. Both of these products come with their own natural, biodegradable packaging! If you can’t be bothered to peel an onion or garlic clove you need to re-evaluate your priorities. This is ridiculous! #PlasticWaste #SingleUsePlastic
