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.

HELLO. as some of you may know i went to a very Big aquarium on monday and i said i would post pictures. this is it. BUADBKASBDKJ

this is a broadnose sevengill shark. when i came to the aquarium i was most excited to see these little guys (well, not technically little but theyre just Guys) as the name implies, they have seven gill slits instead of the regular five. you may also notice that they look a bit prehistoric. thats because they kind of are. sevengills are a type of cowshark which is in the same family as frilled sharks and they are some of the oldest sharks that are still swimming around down there. i personally love cowsharks i find them to be very cute and i was literally crying when i saw them in the tank

this is a spiny dogfish. this is the most Normal picture i got of this guy the entire time. he was literally following me and i know it was the same guy because his nose was kind of bloody. which poor little guy but also it was very funny that he kept coming up to me.

here is another picture of the same spiny dogfish. no joke he was following me. if i can upload the video i took i will.

ANYWAY. i dont actually know that much about spiny dogfish but i should get on that tbh. i will forever stand by my statement that dogfish sharks are the silliest guys in the whole ocean and i LOVE silly sharks

this is a scalloped hammerhead. i dont actually know very much about this particular species either but i do know that they, as a whole, have a symbiotic relationship with barberfish. the hammerheads swim near the barberfish and when they jerk their tails, the barberfish know to go clean their teeth. its like a little shark dentist. in this particular picture, this was the only hammerhead in the tank, which has 1.2 million gallons of water in it and nothing on the bottom to imitate the open ocean for pelagic fish and turtles. (there were two turtles they were very cute but i am not a turtle guy so i will not be talking about them)

this is a leopard shark. they had A Lot of leopard sharks everywhere. there were a lot in this tank that i took this picture in and then there were a few in the sevengills tank and there were like two or three in a shallower pool with some bat stingrays (which are adorable and i will be learning more about them because they are so fucking cute)

extra pictures under the cut :D

is it just me or do dogfish kinda look like an animal crossing character

no you're so right. dogfish, especially the spiny dogfish, look like some game/cartoon dev was like "we need a SHARK, pronto!! someone draw us a shark!" and they gave the task to some kawaii chibi artist who only ever draws cutesy things and has no idea how to make something look the least bit sleek or intimidating.

not to project my own human assumptions onto a wild animal but they just have such dog energy in their appearance. they look like they would play fetch, and whine when you have to leave for work, and bark at squirrels/seagulls

For those who wonder what a dogfish is in my title and what the eye in my avatar is from.

Warning dead sharks below the cut.

Lesser spotted dogfish (or funny enough often called a catshark) are super common in the area. They are small sharks and very pretty. They're also very common with their egg casings, often being found amongst the seaweed (and sadly the litter).

Yellow egg case there with seaweed and plastic plants and even fishing line entangled it.

As they are super common to find, you'll often find them washed up dead. However, I'm often suspicious if there are A LOT of dead ones washed up outside of a storm, because likely it's bycatch that been dumped. But they are very common, and sometimes people needlessly worry when they see a couple of dead ones on the beach.

The next ones are a bit of a worry.

The eye in my avatar comes from either a Starry Smoothhound shark or a Spurdog shark (also known as spiny dogfish), I'm not entirely sure.

As you can probably tell, this isn't remotely a natural death. Both the Starry Smoothhound and Spurdog sharks are listed as vulnerable, and there was a ban for 13 years on fishing the Spurdog. As of April last year; the government allowed fishing on the Spurdog species.

I hope the numbers stay up even with fishing allowed, but I have my doubts without more research into their numbers.
