yeah, this is what sharkskin looks like under a microscope:
it’s covered with tiny interlocking teeth that form a one-way-only surface! petting a shark the wrong way will literally make you bleed, which is still never a thing you want to do if you are in the water with a shark.
(yes, those are literally teeth-sharks ended up evolving a skin covering completely separate from the scales that bony fish ran with and they did it by mutating the teeth out of their fucking mouths and over their entire surface area)
Being internet-shitpost-aware means that you know damn well that this post is a dread summoning spell
The Port Jackson shark is a nocturnal, oviparous type of bullhead shark of the family Heterodontidae, found in the coastal region of southern Australia, including the waters off Port Jackson.
Scientific name: Heterodontus portusjacksoni
Conservation status: Least Concern Encyclopedia of Life
Did you know: Port Jackson Sharks hunt for hard-shelled mollusks, crustaceans, sea urchins, and fish.
So if you guys don’t know about Epaulette Sharks, you better watch this now! This juvenile is the cutest little sea puppy and he’s always happy to greet us when we come up to the glass.
Also, they walk along the sand using their fins which is amazing to watch.
A nice wet puppy
@discovery this is the kind of stuff I would like to see on Shark Week thanks
