Did you there are ~520 species of Shark? 🦈
Many people only think of:
- White shark
- Tiger shark
- Bull shark
- Hammerhead shark
- Whale shark
BUT THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER COOL SHARKS OUT THERE. And we discover a new species roughly every two weeks.
⚠️ DREAM JOB ALERT ⚠️
We’re hiring! Come join the team at Global Reef in a field research position.
Tons of research freedom and lots of field work in beautiful Thailand 🐠🪸 Full time, salaried position.
Details below; reach out with your CV at [email protected]

slowly working through the backlog of blacktip BRUVs footage on my hard drive- helped immensely by the new ✨sharktrack AI✨ tool.

Dunkleosteus was the top predator 365 million years ago. It grew up to 4 m long and weighed as much as a beluga whale. It did not have teeth. Instead, the bones of its jaw formed jagged, self-sharpening razor-like edges that were perfect for cutting prey.

While not uncommon by any means, larval-stage mantis shrimp (Stomatopods) are one of the most cute members of the nocturnal plankton.

Juvenile oceanic whitetip sharks are bold, opportunistic hunters in open waters, feeding on squid and bony fish. Known for their endurance, they travel vast distances in warm, tropical seas and thrive in the pelagic zone.
hi friends!
it’s been a while since I’ve been on here but I’m back with a little life update for you:
I moved to Thailand and after working as a divemaster for many months I landed a job as a researcher for a local marine conservation organization. Things are looking up! 🦈

It’s time for spooky shark facts, so here’s one about our slow moving, elderly, honestly sort of toxic friend. The Greenland shark!

The most grim plankton compilation video I've made. This should only be a beautiful world of microlife. Instead it's a microplastic-polluted, horror movie. Beauty and the beast. @zeiss_micro

In an incredibly rare event, our #AndersonCabotCenter aerial survey team spotted a gray whale off the New England coast last week, a species that has been extinct in the Atlantic for more than 200 years! 😮
