Save the Sharks on the Sunday NO PO Open Thread

Post by Z is for Zangie » Sun Oct 03, 2021 5:32 am

Sorry I am so late, I had an absolute nightmare trying to do stuff on my desktop, where the program I used for work is on there now, it is glitching and trying to fix the glitches just made it worse, I finally just said I am going to do this tomorrow and quit, but, it was after 1 AM by then. How do you feel about sharks? I think they are way cool and think they should be protected as much as we can. Here are most of them in several pictures, the group ones were missing the Great White and of course, he has to be shown...lol...that one is a shower curtain, my bathroom is sea-themed and I have decals of sea creatures on my walls, I so would use that shower curtain...lol

Sharks are interesting creatures and they deserve protection as a species.
The few times I’ve been to the ocean, I’ve never seen one up close.

I look at Sharks like Wolves: Some people just have an unhealthy fascination with them. They're less dangerous to people than people tend to think, and they're less mystical than people tend to think. If we leave them alone and stay out of their territory they'll leave us alone.

Also, you are correct: Sharks and Rays are closely related and different from most other fish. Along with Skates and Sawfish, which are actually kinds of Ray.
