Sharks, man

[BmillsSkier]

Threshers are cool with what they can do with their tails.

Didn’t know they survived death for some alien amount of time though, that’s weird ass shit.

The ocean is having its moment this summer.

It's dark, murderous, moment.

That was my second takeaway from the article.

Unfortunately, although it may take a while, death is inevitable. And it doesn't even need to be such an obvious thing like bleeding out. The old "look, it's swimming away, it'll be fine" rationalization fails to see the rest of the story. More often than not, death is a long slow process, even for higher vertebrates (my Mom took 18 months), unless you're being eaten/shot by crazed scooter, of course. Sturgeon are very similar to sharks: after sitting in the back of an idiot's pick up for hours in the hot sun for photos, skin completely dried out, swims away after placing back in the water. Dead, rotting carcass floats. up 2 miles away down stream.

Animals recognizable as sharks appeared 380 million years ago and have survived 3 major extinctions, so a lot apparently, but it looks increasingly likely that they won't survive a 4th.

Why wouldn’t they survive the next extinction event?

Why wouldn’t they survive the next extinction event?

Because Free Willy is de-livering them all?

[riser4]

Why wouldn’t they survive the next extinction event?

Because humans are killing them off. WE are the next extinction event. Not an asteroid, or even a hemorrhoid. It's the humans.

[m2711c]

nah, it’s cause the chinese are de-finning them all…





fact.

Not a chance.

Humans will kill a shit ton but not a chance we’ll cause all sharks to go extinct.

The ocean is pretty big and many species never even cross paths with a human.

Are there any studies indicating humans could possibly kill every single shark on earth? I’m open to changing my mind but seems impossible.

I'm also counting indirect means like fucking up the oceans so nothing can live there.

I think the mammals will be fucked eventually , sharks and crocs will be around for the next wave of intelligent life domination and until the Sun boils the oceans and turns the Earth to Venus.

Hold my beer and watch this.

Part of the fun of the shark app is you get notifications like this:

That's another reason sharks suck. They'll never finish eating a sea lion, and it's mangled body will then wash up on shore where it will rot to the point your dog will gleefully roll in it while you're taking a walk on the beach.

Fucking sharks.

This is probably more likely. Warming oceans full of plastics will kill the corals which will kill the fish which will kill the sharks.

Certainly not all sharks will disappear but I imagine a few species will go extinct in our lifetimes.

Oh no. The otters have joined the resistance.

Otters are giant weasels with good P.R.
