Woah mama! I appreciate the traction of the first shark poll, so here is another for so many beloved friends who did not fit the first one! Shark fans,

I truly did have many of the species listed here in mind with the previous poll, I just did not have the space and had to prioritise some sharks I knew were longtime favourites! But worry not… no more! SHARK FANS COME GET YOUR JUICE!!!!

What shall I do with the info in the two polls? I dunno. Maybe make another poll with even more sharks? Maybe combine the winners and make them fight to the death? Who knows! Let’s see.

🦈 Daily Shark Fact: 🦈

Bluntnose Sixgill Sharks are strong predators. Adults are very sensitive to and become distressed by light exposure — thus, they spend the day in the dark depths, and forage closer to the surface mainly at night. They are generalists, feeding on a great variety of prey items that are likely ambushed at close range.

Most sharks are negatively buoyant, meaning they naturally sink in water. However, in 2015, two deep sea sharks - the bluntnose sixgill shark (top) and the prickly shark (bottom) - were discovered to be positively buoyant, meaning they naturally float in water.

This could have one of two purposes: aiding stealth hunting by enabling them to ambush prey from below by motionlessly rising towards them; or for migrating to warmer waters closer to the surface at night to warm up the muscles (to then actively swim back down to colder waters during the day).

Did you know, that like snakes and lizards, most sharks are ectothermic? This means that, normally, they’re not capable of regulating their own body temperature. However, sharks that live in frigid Arctic waters have adapted an ability called counter-current heat exchange. This method of keeping warm, allows these sharks to survive in even the coldest of the world’s oceans.

Info dump to me about the sharkies I WANT TO KNOW 1. Most aggressive sharkie 2. Fastest Sharkie 3. Strangest sharkie 4. Oldest Sharkie 5. Smallest Sharkie 6. Biggest Sharkie 7. Slowest Sharkie 8. Cutest Sharkie 9. "Ugliest" Sharkie

heheheh i know all of this from the top of my head 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈

Bull sharks! they're the most aggresive towards humans along with great whites and tiger shark

Shortfin makos!!!

This is more subjective and i'd say goblin sharks, frilled sharks and cookie cutter are probably some of the weirdest ones. Honorable mention: the helicoprion (extinct friend but he was so strange <33)

Okay so the shark that can grow the oldest is the greenland shark, they can reach more than 400 years old The oldest *species* is the frilled shark! Along with the rest of the hexanchiformes order (this are sixgill and sevengill sharks)

Dwarf lantern shark! he's just a leetol guy

Whale shark! it's also the biggest fish in general followed by the basking shark

Greenland sharks, they're just vibing in the water

Subjective again, small sharks definetly get to me. Spotted catsharks, zebra pups, and nurse sharks too

In general people will probably say goblin? I think they're really weird and that's the thing i like the most about creatures so <3
