Divers free a Megamouth shark from a fishing net in Tateyama Bay.
The Megamouth is a large deep-sea shark,  rarely seen by people.  Despite reaching a considerable adult size of 4m-5.2m,  they are the smallest of the filter-feeding sharks,  which includes the Basking Shark and the Whale Shark..  Their large mouths are lined with bioluminescent photophores,  which are thought to attract plankton and fish to the slow-moving shark.

One day that tiny baby will be a big shark able to rip people to shreds

most blacktip reef sharks are no more than 5.5ft long when mature. not only that, blacktip reef sharks are timid and shy, with no fatal human attacks documented. don’t comment stuff like this on my posts, save it for another post and stay off mine. thanks

Anonymous asked:

Gifset of a carribean reef shark swarmed by fish: why are the fish swarming it and why doesn't the shark eat them? Why does it tolerate all those fish around it?

If you’re referring to this gifset, those are yellowtail snappers and I’ve never heard of anything about their relationship with sharks, so it’s pretty weird that they’d swarm that one shark in particular.
