- Sharks will sometimes use their mouths to check things they're curious about. Or touch with their nose Some people mistake this for aggression but it's not. It's just how they explore their surroundings
- Spinner sharks! These sharks are known for making very cool jumps. This is actually their hunting technique to catch schooling fish
- Happy international whale shark day! ๐๐ฆ Shark fact: whale sharks are the largest fish in the ocean!
- Sharks are naturally very curious creatures. Some species will even lift their head out of the water to see what's above the surface This behavior is known as "spyhopping" (this makes them look very silly)
- Shark fact: thresher sharks are truly very shy! They get scared easily and it's difficult to approach them
