Working to bridge the divide between people and sharks. Get to know the most misunderstood creatures of the sea. Trust me, they'll thank you. 🦈

Nurse sharks rest in the day and hunt viciously at night. They're anything but nurturing - If you're a crustacean #deceivingaf #sharkfacts

Think your hearing's bad? You're probably right. Sharks can hear up to a kilometer away and they don't even have visible ears #EARresistable

Most sharks fly solo but scalloped hammerheads migrate in schools. #SquadGoals

Sharks survived five mass extinctions, but if we're not careful, the one they won't survive will be the one that we create #justsaying

Sharks have been swimming around for over 400 mil years. If it has a spine, the sharks probably got there first. #respectyourelders

Blue sharks probably look so sad because they are among the most threatened species in the world due to illegal fin trade and overfishing

Mako sharks, among others, cannot pump water over their own gills. They drown if they stop swimming. Talk about a workout! #justkeepswimming

About 12 species of sharks are considered a danger to humans, but about 20 species are in danger of extinction. #sharkfacts #dontfearthefin

Cool: A hammerhead's eye placement allows it to see perfectly vertically. Not cool: They have a large blindspot right in front of them :(
