One of the Bimini Sharklab’s main missions is to aid in ‘raising public perception and awareness of sharks and other marine species.’ Since our inception in 1990, the Sharklab has recognized the need to help educate and engage the public on not only current elasmobranch research but also on co...
When a orca or dolphin is born they have hair. Later on the hair will fall out.

When most folks think of sharks that are spectacular jumpers, they immediately think mako shark. While they are well known for amazing acrobatics, they aren’t the only one. Here’s a great photo of one of the sharks we are doing two research projects on, the thresher shark. They are beautiful sharks and when they leverage their tail, which is as long as the rest of their body, the sky is the limit!
Swordfish kills thresher with stab to the heart. Probably battle over territory or prey. First ever recorded thresher death from swordfish.

Photographers captured unusual animal event in California’s Morro Bay as non-profit reports that ‘the prey was not consumed’
This is so 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Another fun ocean fact! 🦈🦈🦈🌊🌊🌊
Sharks keep herbivores from consuming too much seagrass. How do they do it? Fear. A sea cow can't linger on a seagrass bed for too long. Seagrass is a key place where little fish grow up. Sharks again are key to protect the system.
Thought this would be an interesting read to share.
There's evidence to suggest that orcas use tonic immobility to prey on sharks. In 1997, an Orca in the Farallon Islands was seen holding a White Shark upside down for 15 minutes. Whether intentional or not, the Orca likely caused the shark to enter tonic immobility. Defenceless, the shark, suffocated.
I have joined this website. I cant donate money right now but I can educate and spread the word about organizations and websites such as these.
This is so freaking awesome 🤩🤩🤩🤩 Another reason I want to go on a bioluminescence kayak tour!
Blacktip sharks in Bora Bora. Healthy reefs teem with them and reefs without them are in serious trouble.
Learn something new everyday. Love it 🌊🌊🌊🦑🦑🦑🐙🐙🐙
Australian giant cuttlefish ❤️💙💜💛 Cuttlefish are molluscs (related to snails and clams) and along with squid, nautilus and octopus make up the group called cephalopods, meaning “head-feet” in Greek, because their arms are attached to their heads.
Both cuttlefish and squid have eight arms (two “legs” and six “arms”) and two tentacles, as opposed to octopus who have eight "arms" and no tentacles.

OMG! I want to get this and start diving like yesterday!!!
😍😍😍😍😍😍
Orcas hunting.
Such majestic and beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
They have a kick ass facial horn! Narwhals the unicorn of the sea are what we are talking about this week. So come and dive on in with me!
The Ocean is a wonderous place. Full of beauty and wonder. Here is another example of how amazing it is.
Here is another example of how nature uses diversity and interconnection to maintain the marine system. Algae can kill a reef but parrot fish scrap it off to keep the reef healthy. See beak. Sharks eat the predators that can consume too many parrot fish. Sharks again are a key to keep diversity and health in the oceans.
I didn't know this was a thing. Learned something new today!
Did you know narwhals and belugas can actually reproduce in the wild and create a narluga hybrid? See the 3D model for the first time here!
Thought this was cool. Nature never ceases to amaze me!
A swordfish impaled a huge female thresher shark which washed up dead on a Libyan beach. The swordfish might have been taking out an ecological rival or have just protected itself.
I saw this and it took my breath away. This is a beautiful shot of a beautiful animal!

Thought this would be something interesting to date with All you🦈🦈🦈❤️❤️❤️ out there.
My Spirit Animal 🐋🐋🐋🐳🐳🐳. I love these animals so very much. I remember seeing them for the first time as a kid at SeaWorld and just being captivated by them. They speak to my would. I still remember saying I wanted to do something with them when I grew up. That love and wonder came back and has stuck with me throughout these past years!

The porpoise of today's live is to raise awareness of the Vaquita a highly endangered marine mamammal!
Hope you guys are ready to learn about these lovely animals later today!
The critically endangered vaquita has survived in low numbers in its native Gulf of California for hundreds of thousands of years, a new genetic analysis has found. The study found little sign of inbreeding or other risks often associated with small populations.
Loved this video. Thank you guys at More for sharing this very informative videos for everyone to enjoy.
Hmmmm..... What is everyone up to this weekend?
Whale hug!

I love learning about ocean 🌊🌊🌊 life everyday. I broaden my horizons by learning more about species I didn't know existed.
Just in time for Halloween! Thought I would share these jawsome pumpkin carving ideas.
This year, we want to make sure you “carve” out some time for some Halloween fun! Our new pumpkin carving templates take you on an adventure from satellites far above our heads to sea creatures in the depths of the ocean. We hope you have a spook-tacular Halloween!
These are another favorite animal of mine. I can't wait till we discuss them on a live! I have been to touch tanks and they are so velvety soft and sometimes swim toward the edge of the tank to be touched.

So beautiful ❤️ ❤️😍. To think this beauty is in our oceans is astounding.
Behold the bedazzling beauty of this deep-sea cephalopod, the strawberry squid (Histioteuthis reversa)! 💎 🦑 🍓

So this is going to be on my bucket list of places to go!
You can get face-to-face with the ‘predators of the deep’.
Love ❤️❤️❤️ 🦈🦈🦈 Sharks! Also love !
The Vaquita is what we will be talking about in 2 weeks. I saw a post similar to this and it just jumped right out to me. I think it is a sign that this is the animal that I am supposed to do next so. This is so sad to know that this animal is the most endangered because of ghost nets in our waters.
