✨welcome to the shark zone motherfuckers <3✨

☀️ I'm Sharky, but you can call me Alex too :) This is my ocean/shark blog! (w/ the occasional meme or two perhaps)

💙 I'm nonbinary, I use they/them and he/him!

☀️ My favorite marine animals are sharks!

💙 I mostly rb as I'm not exactly an expert on marine biology as a whole, however, should I rb anything with blatant misinformation please let me know!

☀️ I'll try my best to trigger tag appropriately, I use "tw thalassophobia", but feel free to ask me to tag anything else!

i learned that an Australian Fisherman caught a tiger shark and brought it to a local aquarium. The shark puked up a human arm in front of spectators. Investigators were able to distinguish that the arm was not bitten off by the shark, but was cut off and then eaten. The investigation led to a murder charge (x)

A few weeks ago, a young girl saw this rare Argonaut - often called a Paper Nautilus - washed onto the beach at East Cape Conran. She told locals about it and Myke Mollard went and picked up the little dude then released her back into deeper water. Hopefully survived; such a classic ‘animal’ of nature. Enjoy!

Plerogyra sinuosa or Bubble Coral 

Appropriately named, the bubble coral is covered in bubble-like polyps that are filled with water; these can develop in different colors and shapes. The polyps also contain zooxanthellae, causing the bubbles to expand during the day and retract at night.
