@ocearch.bsky.social is famous for tagging and tracking #whitesharks, but they track other #shark species, too.
Recent satellite data shows that a #duskyshark they tagged near #Jacksonville in 2025 is now near #St.Petersburg, #Florida

Yup, that is a well known example, but not unique to there. Similar orca predation on white #shark happened near #Australia. New research, though, points out that #whitesharks may avoid that place for years, even without the activity of liver eating #orca

"The teeth of white sharks are not static weapons but records of a shark’s changing lifestyle. Continuous replacement compensates for teeth lost and damaged, and enables design updates that track diet changes through development."

#WhiteSharks are ENDANGERED. Known for having a pointed snout and large, flat, triangular teeth, their body is stout and coloured grey or brownish grey on top and a white underbelly. The main dorsal fin and pectoral fins are black tipped. An adult can measure 3.8 to 6 meters.

"A new genetic study sheds light on that history, revealing that great whites were once reduced to a single, mixed population in the southern Indo-Pacific. Then, around 7,000 years ago, that group began splitting into smaller, isolated populations."

Aerial photo shows several young white sharks and a surfer on a surfboard in greenish ocean water with small waves breaking on a white sand beach in the background. Photo is a screenshot from a video taken in 2001 by Eric Mailander.
Young white sharks are in the news off the coast of Aptos in Monterey Bay. Changing ocean conditions caused by our warming climate have drawn young sharks to these waters. Our researchers have been studying them: www.montereybayaquarium.org/stories/whit... #sharks #WhiteSharks #ClimateChange

With fewer than 500 breeding adults the loss of just one breeding animal is a serious blow to the whole population. White sharks are vital for the health of the ocean. They occupy the top of the food web, keeping it in balance.
