Shark Art Q&A

I am a goblin shark! 我係歐氏尖吻鮫！

歐氏尖吻鮫 / 哥布林鯊

IUCN保育狀況︰無危

歐氏尖吻鮫又叫哥布林鯊，係住係深海嘅鯊魚，行踨非常神秘！佢嘅吻部向前突起，可以用黎感覺獵物。 佢嘅皮膚係半透明架，所以身體望落係粉紅色~

Goblin sharks are living in the deep sea! They use their highly protrusible jaws to catch prey, and their skins are pink~!

Behold the tiger shark~! 虎鯊到此一游~

Name: Tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier)

Conservation status: IUCN Red List: Near Threatened

虎鯊

IUCN保育狀況︰近危

虎鯊同大白鯊、公牛鯊並列全球三大最危險鯊魚！

(尖叫)典解會咁嘅！？

原來虎鯊天生好好奇架，係個海度見到咩野都鐘意第一時間擺入口睇下好唔好味~由於虎鯊進食時習慣將獵物完整吞落肚，所以唔經唔覺會食埋好多垃圾！有人試過係虎鯊胃部發現鐵釘 、 車胎、玻璃樽等雜物！

哇…睇黎個海都幾多垃圾喎…

Tiger shark is said to be one of the “Three Deadliest Sharks”!!

Tiger sharks appeared to be aggressive is due to their curious nature---they eat almost everything! Tiger sharks may mistakenly eat junk as they often eat their prey whole. It’s reported some bizarre things like iron nails, tires and glass bottles are found in the tiger shark stomach!

今日VIP係…豹紋鯊！

我終於係個功課魚網入面游返出黎啦，YEAH~!

I’ve just swum out from school assignment the fishing net~Hooray~!

Thanks @allyallygold​~!

“Zebra shark? Leopard shark? I’m both of them.”

Yes! “Leopard shark” is one of my other common names! Our kind is oviparous—-when I was just hatched from my egg, I have stripes on my body and slowly replaced by dark brown spots as I age! Like the tawny nurse shark, I also have a small mouth, large pectoral fins and long caudal fin~Besides over-fishing, hunting is another threat to us as people may catch us for our fins, meat and livers for vitamin production. 

Please, do a thing to keep my friends alive, say no to shark products!

「斑馬鯊？豹紋鯊？媽我好亂呀！」

哦係咁的，我地係一種卵生嘅鯊魚，BB身上會有間條紋，到大個左先會慢慢變成深啡色斑點~我地同啡護士鯊一樣都有櫻桃小嘴﹑大胸  肌鰭同長尾鰭~人類抓我地除左想要魚翅同肉，亦會用肝臟提煉魚肝油~

保護鯊魚，請即停止購買鯊魚產品！ 

(尋日問題嘅答案，就係豹紋鯊！豹紋鯊bb係咪巧打耳呢？ )
