This is what a baby great white shark looks like.

It’s actually a baby salmon shark, seen here being carefully rescued from having beached itself, because it is an oceanic danger puppy and like most wild animals, will bite if confused/scared. (source here)

“Aww gee wiz fellas” – this shark, probably?

Here’s a great white pup! She’s a four-foot-long female named Finn:

Great white sharks are born live, and average about 5 feet long at birth! Don’t worry, Finn’s not hurt; she’s being tagged with a tracker that helps scientists understand more about great white nurseries.

The dwarf laternshark

(Etmopterus perryi)

is possibly the smallest species of shark in the world, with a maximum known length of around 8 inches. It is known to be present only on the upper continental slopes off Colombia and Venezuela, at a depth of 900 to 1,400 feet.

Like other members of its genus, it is capable of producing light from a distinctive array of photophores.
