i love the thought of oswald cobblepot having pet sharks bc theyre also my special interest but actually a great white shark has never been kept in an aquarium for longer thhan 198 days. they all usually die. unless oswald provided miles upon miles of water and space, the sharks will give up and start refusing to eat, possibly even banging their head into the glass until their ultimate demise. which makes me so sad and im sure oswald wouldn't do that to an animal....
great white sharks are such a beautiful species. great whites dont like captivity, they need to swim miles every day. unless oswald spent millions on a cage thats literally comically huge, it wouldnt work
Second of the Shark Puppers, the Great White! I gave him a more playfully aggressive face, he knows he's the biggest boy.
This tough little guy found a home, but if you'd like a piece of my work, please check out Bittythings and Beasts. We got marine life, we got fantasy boyos.
Why do you think Great white sharks are so evil in movies
1. they're really big! they're on average around 14 feet with the biggest ones measuring closer to 20, and they can weigh up to 5,000 pounds. that's, like, 30 of me!
2. the book Jaws (and the subsequent movie) really helped make that scare happen. it worked really well, so people kept making horror movies from them. I personally think the mako shark is the scariest but to each their own
3. they do contribute a large portion of yearly human attacks, averaging a little less than 10 per year
4. they live in almost all coastal off-shore areas, as opposed to sticking to one sea or continent! so they're really widespread geographically speaking
5. look at that smile! :D
(photo creds to the IFL Sharks Facebook page!)
their up to 3 inch long teeth are serrated, and they have over 300 of them! humans only have 32! great whites are also constantly losing teeth so it's very common to find them :-)
please note that humans are not prey to them! most bites are test bites and typically they leave people alone because we're gross to them. also a lot of bites occur in low visibility waters, and they don't have the best eyesight anyway :(
also people just really won't leave sharks alone lmao a lot of shark attacks are provoked
