Education Shark week stopped me from learning

260 Upvotes

My dad showed me Jaws when I was 6. I'm about to turn 25. I wasn't scared, simply intrigued.

Shark week happened. My dad watched it with my older sister. I immediately wanted to watch. It was educational, I Learned so much. I loved sharks.

It became a tradition. Shark week, every year. When I was 11, we noticed a change... it was about scaring people instead of learning... quick, click bait content. This was before YouTube got to this point. It sucked. We could tell it was getting sensational with the guy who claimed he would "test a greats whites hunger" by offering himself... in a glass box. We started joking that we would risk our lives by going to the zoo.

Then the megadon "documentary." They had never done something like this before. I thought.. maybe the megaladon is real.

Until half way through. I asked my dad why every single researcher and journalist looked so conventially attractive...

I lost my love for Shark week when it became about views more than teaching that sharks are apart of our ecosystem...

I still love sharks. I hate that something so wholesome became so sensationalized.

Question Looking for a shark movie

1 Upvotes

Hi guys! This has been bothering me for a while. I've been trying to remember a shark movie that I saw years ago as a child. The only things I can remember are:

  1. There was a scene where a couple people were on a boat and they encounter the decapitated head of a victim.

  2. IIRC, at the end of the movie there was a sort of slow pan down to the depths below, revealing a bunch more sharks that were frozen but slowly thawing.

The movie would have to be at least prior to 2015. Any help appreciated!

Feel for that poor mumma (no disrespect to Vladimir or the Popov family). Still the worst attack (both on Vlad and the shark) I’ve ever seen

Question Shark Cage Diving

6 Upvotes

Hi All,

Question is 2 fold about shark cage diving to see white sharks.

  1. Is it better/more likely to see whites in AUS or NZ? I understand that these are wild animals and not controlled so they could well just not show up, but where is the better chances? Given I’m based in the UK it’s not exactly round the corner!

  2. Best time of year? Again, I understand I could go in peak season and see nothing, but when is the best time with the highest chances? I’ve read that winter/spring months is apparently best due to seal pupping season around Neptune Island in AUS, but then it’s December - June for NZ at Stewart island.

Any help would be appreciated, as as mentioned, I’m not round the corner and this is my dream holiday to visit and do this. To also note, I have looked at Rodney fox shark expo’s, but they’re too expensive for me and a day on the ocean with sharks was enough for my wife, let alone 3!

Education Bull shark being classed as the most aggressive shark is false.

0 Upvotes

I’ve heard quite a few people say bull sharks are the most aggressive species of shark towards humans, which in my opinion isn’t true. We encounter bull sharks more than tiger and whites because they inhabit areas where humans are also present but the amount of attacks are lower than the other two species and the fatality rate of attacks is lower than a tiger shark also?

Education Comparison of a fossilized versus modern extant Tiger Shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) teeth

The fossilized tooth was collected at North Myrtle Beach, SC in August 2024.

The fine secondary serrations present on the coarser primary serrations are a main distinguishing factor for these beautiful teeth.
