Whale shark to me has been the big climber (although I may be biased because I lived in atlanta and saw constant ads for the atl aquarium) along with the revelation that tiger sharks are actually the most dangerous to humans.
Goblin shark is my number one
I got to see them the last time I was at the Atlanta Aquarium. I highly recommend it.
This is a clamshell shark, it's not a hammerhead, lots of people confuse clamshell, scallopshell and hammerhead sharks as the all have that T shape, but there's physical differences and differences in there pattern of sensing electrical impulses :o)
Hammerhead is an umbrella term. They're all types of hammerheads.
Oh
Sorry but Blåhaj made them scooch down a spot the rankings. Hammerheads are definitely down to beung a top 3-4 shark.
There are a lot fewer of them around now than when I was a kid. The trend continues down as we keep doing mass commercial fishing the way we do.
Damn, that's a depressing Wikipedia article:
It is estimated that around 375,000 great hammerhead sharks alone are traded per year which is equivalent to 21,000 metric tons of biomass. However, most sharks that are caught are only used for their fins and then discarded. The meat of hammerheads is generally unwanted.
Maybe we should bring back hyping up Hammerhead Sharks again! Could bring awareness to their dwindling population.
Is this for sharkfin soup in east Asia? Man, absolutely awful practice.
They have the coolest shark superpower on the underside of their head. They have neurons that are so sensitive to electrical stimulation, they can sense the current generated by muscle contractions of prey buried under the sea floor.
Most sharks have this, hammerheads just specialize in it
Platypus is unimpressed
A mammal that has venom and lays eggs? Not to mention it looks like a meme...
I blame shark week and their over-emphasis on the Great White.
Great whites had hype way before shark week
OH SHIT!
Great Odin's raven! Those delicious snacks must be relics of the Clinton Lewinsky era.
Thank you for reminding me these existed. Unlocked some memories that have been sitting there for decades unremembered.
My son bough a Fahlo Bracelet, that lets you track endangered animals. His follows a Hammerhead shark that is swimming around the Gulf of Mexico, and has been around Florida for many months.
These look really cool!
He loves getting on his tablet and watching for where his shark was last spotted.
I live in the Sarasota area, let me know if his shark is down this way and I'll see if we can spot him!
But we recently found a new one! Clint's reptiles recently did a video all about hammerheads. https://youtu.be/T3xWjtx1_fM
Very misleading. Sharks are fish.
And as we know, fish is a useless term
I loved this video. Thanks!
