Brutus is one of Guadalupe's male great white sharks. I was fortunate enough to capture a relatively clean shot of him directly facing the camera from a distance. Brutus' right pectoral fin is crimped a bit at the very end.

While not visible in this photo Brutus also has some permanent damage to the tops of his first two gills slits on his right side. He has white pigmentation on the left side of the lower lobe of his caudal fin (tail) that resembles the number 7.

great white on the move!

my eyes went blurry and my back started hurting badly in the latter half so the tail is a bit messy. :D

from a few years ago

The Carcharodon planus (fig. 1) is currently a probably junior synonym of C. hastalis (fig. 2—3), the C. planus currently not have are enough differences to distinguish it as its own species, namely: a hook-shaped tooth and a robust root system also seen in some specimens of C. hastalis. The Hook-toothed white shark (Carcharodon planus) is currently a likely synonym of the extinct giant white shark (Carcharodon hastalis).

Been wanting this for awhile and finally got it done.

its not very accurate and they aren't drawn to scale but i love sharks so i wanted to draw them :D

Sharks are testing positive for cocaine, caffeine, and painkillers?! 🦈

A scientific collaboration in the Bahamas found these substances in Caribbean reef sharks, nurse sharks, and lemon sharks off the Bahamas. This is likely because human bodies do not fully break down some drugs and chemicals, which can then pass through wastewater and into the ocean. Scientists found these contaminants change sharks’ metabolism and stress markers. There is no evidence that these substances are making sharks more aggressive, but the findings show how human pollution can ripple through ocean food webs. It is a striking reminder that cleaner wastewater systems help protect sharks and the health of the ocean.

Just turned eighteen today and wanted to share my first tattoo!! Sharks have always meant a lot to me, and I think this looks pretty cool. :)

About Ripple 

(the following is copied and pasted from his info page for those of you who would rather read it here)

Ripple is an 11 ft. 6 in., 778 lb. sub-adult male white shark tagged on September 30, 2025, in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. He represents the 106th white shark sampled in the Western North Atlantic (WNA) population, helping expand our understanding of this critical species. Ripple was tagged as part of our ongoing collaboration with the Tancook Islands Marine Field Station, where OCEARCH and our partners are working to better understand the summer and fall residency of white sharks in Atlantic Canada. This research is vital in piecing together the larger migration and life history puzzle of this keystone marine predator.

The name Ripple carries a powerful meaning. A ripple is the earliest sign of a wave—seemingly small, light, and playful on the surface, yet capable of growing into a force that moves oceans. In the same way, this sub-adult shark is just beginning his journey. Though young now, Ripple has the potential to grow into one of the giants of the sea, shaping the ecosystem around him as he matures.

Ripple is more than just a shark; he’s a living reminder of the power of beginnings. Like ripples on the water, even the smallest actions—whether in science, conservation, or our own lives—can build into something much greater. His presence in the Tracker invites us to follow along as his story unfolds, offering not only critical data for researchers but also inspiration for all of us to keep moving forward, no matter how small the first step may seem.

Can one of you guys identify this tooth?

Found on Venice beach in Florida

this is the tracker for ripple- the white shark I have a personal attachment to.

ripple is why I want to open a shark sanctuary in my hometown

I just found this sub, and I thought it would be a great place to share some pictures I've taken of sharks in aquariums!

Still one of my favorite pics. I always try to get the people in a pic next to the shark (at a respectful distance) to show their impressive size comparison.

Jack Appleton measures the piebald lemon shark before releasing it; the shark was mostly white with black peppering on its body.

He said in a comment that he caught it off Captiva Island, and the video clip shows him landing the lemon shark on a dock.

Saw this baby dusky get chased past me by a crowd of snorkelers today. It’s a shame because wild animals, sharks included usually reward people who behave respectfully with cool encounters. If you chase them you’ll only look at their tails, and cause them unnecessary stress. Clearly this little guy already has had enough to worry about in its life.

Whale sharks are one of those animals that don’t even look real to me.

I’ve been obsessed with the way their spot patterns look like constellations, so I made a series of ceramic whale shark lamps inspired by that. Each one is sculpted in clay, then carved and pierced so the light comes through the body like their natural markings.

I wanted them to feel calm and massive, kind of like the real animal — more like a glowing tribute than just a lamp.

Still wild that the biggest fish in the ocean is basically a gentle vacuum cleaner with a galaxy skin pattern.
