James Brady+FollowGreenland Sharks’ Secret Baby Hideout Revealed!Turns out, Greenland sharks—those ancient, 500-year-old giants—aren’t having their babies in Greenland after all! Scientists just cracked the case: the pups are probably born way closer to Denmark, deep in the North Atlantic. These sharks are super rare and mysterious, so finding their nursery is a big deal for protecting them (they’re listed as vulnerable). Next up: tracking these elusive babies with satellites and DNA. Shark nursery mystery, kinda solved! #Science #GreenlandShark #SharkWeek80Share
Tamara Jones+Follow325-Million-Year-Old Shark Fossils?!Imagine stumbling on shark fossils that are older than dinosaurs—like, 325 million years old! That’s what scientists just found deep inside Kentucky’s Mammoth Cave. These ancient sharks, Troglocladodus trimblei and Glikmanius careforum, were about the size of today’s oceanic white tips. The wildest part? Their cartilage usually vanishes over time, but these were perfectly preserved in limestone. It’s like nature’s time capsule! This discovery is helping scientists piece together how sharks survived wild changes way before humans ever showed up. #Science #FossilFind #SharkWeek70Share
James Brady+FollowSharks Having a Dinner Party?!Ever seen 12 sharks share a meal without turning it into a feeding frenzy? Tiger sharks and oceanic whitetips were caught on video peacefully co-feeding on a carcass—no drama, just a rare moment of shark harmony. Who knew these ocean predators could be so chill around each other? Nature always has surprises! #SharkWeek #WildlifeWednesday #OceanLife #Science174Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowShark GoPro Captures Wild Great White EncounterImagine strapping a GoPro to a nurse shark and getting a literal shark’s-eye view—then a great white photobombs the footage! Scientists at Florida Atlantic University are using fin-mounted cameras to spy on sharks in their natural habitat, and the results are unreal. Not only do we get to see how these ocean giants interact, but it’s also changing how researchers study their behavior. This is the closest we’ll get to living out Shark Week IRL! #SharkWeek #MarineScience #GoPro #Wildlife #OceanLife #Science320Share
