Richard Vaughan+FollowFlorida’s great hammerhead tragedy: A wake-up callAn 11-foot great hammerhead shark, one of the ocean’s most iconic predators, was found dead off southeast Florida—killed not by a natural enemy, but by a hook left from catch-and-release fishing. Despite their reputation, great hammerheads are extremely sensitive and often don’t survive the stress of being caught, even if released. This heartbreaking loss highlights how even well-intentioned fishing practices can have deadly consequences for endangered species. Should we rethink how we interact with these majestic creatures? What changes could help protect them in the future? #Science #Florida #HammerheadShark27871Share
Judith Nelson+FollowShark Drop Shocks Disc Golfers!Talk about a wild hazard on the course! A group of disc golfers at Splinter City in Myrtle Beach got the surprise of their lives when a baby hammerhead literally fell from the sky. Turns out, an osprey lost its catch mid-flight after being chased by two crows, dropping the 1-foot shark right by the 11th hole. Anyone else ever seen a 'birdie' like that? Nature’s got its own game going! #DiscGolf #HammerheadShark #Wildlife #Sports71Share
