In which I post a daily shark fact 🦈🧪 on Bluesky every day unless I forget in which case they’ll be more like daily-ish: There is no red shark, but there is a white shark (some call it a great white) and a blue shark (seen here). Blue sharks are one of the most commonly caught bycatch species. 🇺🇸
Obscure shark(s) 2: Meet the Izaks, five catsharks from the genus Holohalaelurus. There’s original Izak, Grinning Izak, Crying Izak, Honeycomb Izak, and Spotted Izak. The Izaks live in the W. Indian Ocean along coastal Africa and are like *many* sharks: smallish, coolish and not well studied.
Yes, please! Thank you!

Thank you so much for anyone who's following me on here! I feel like the luckiest educator in the WORLD because I get to be out in the field with an incredible group of scientists, students,captains,and friends and integrate their research and local marine ecosystems into STEM lessons and programs!
