Sandbar Shark Appreciation Day!

The Sandbar Shark (Carcharhinus plumbeus) is a species of requiem shark, and part of the family Carcharhinidae. It is distinguishable by its very high first dorsal fin and inter-dorsal ridge. 

The sandbar shark is classified as Vulnerable (VU) on the IUCN Red List.

It has been rarely associated with threats on humans. And yet, they are probably thrown in the "oh my gawd.... it's a big scary shark" category and fished recreationally (probably for the purpose of selfies). 

Year of the Dog

This year let us learn more about some of the lesser known/ less publicised sharks. They are just as spectacular and interesting. I've drawn a few of them here - they are not easy but enjoyable to draw.
The Dogfish family is one of the largest but many of them have very little known about them. The ones that were abundant have become far less in number. Let us keep them from going away completely.

Valentine's day 2018: The Shark annoys valentiners

It's simply natural that the word "Sharks" comes after the words "I love". And it's natural to love sharks.
Valentine's day was cute when we were much younger. Then it got annoying. Now I wonder how it's still a thing. Yes, I suppose the companies that paid for all the heart designs keep it going but love really shouldn't need to be highlighted just once a year. Because then the day tends to be more important than everything else, right?
This Valentine's day, don't focus on the cards and flowers and gifts but be grateful that you have someone to call your own.
Also, love sharks.
