They have a bad rep (Steve Irwin etc), but they are lovely, friendly / curious creatures.

I’m thankful for having opportunities to share my love of #FlatSharks with my kids. They want more shark and ray encounters next year! 🐟🦈

🤿 Had a blast last weekend representing Shark & Skate Scotland, we were at the Kilchoan Melfort Trust & chatting all things #flapperskate with the Edges of Earth team!

Thanks for having us!

Screenshot of a web store page with a plush toy manta ray but in the form of two pancakes stacked, with syrup and butter atop.

And pancake mantas (although with improperly positioned mouth)(but props to having mouth and gills at all?)(and butter and syrup...) 180tide.com/products/sta... #SeaFlapJacks #FlatSharks 🥞

#SharkWeek air jaws: Currently watching orcas cooperatively hunt some #flatsharks and the footage is amazing!
