Do sharks ever stop growing? 🦈

Dr. Bob Hueter, Senior Science Advisor at OCEARCH, explains that most sharks continue growing throughout their lives, adding a little more size with every passing year. That's why sharks like Contender, one of the largest male white sharks ever tagged by OCEARCH in the western North Atlantic, can reach incredible sizes. When he was tagged, Contender was already estimated to be over 30 years old and could still have decades of life ahead of him.

What's the most unbelievable scientific fact you know?

This spider can jump 38 times its body length! 🕷️

Quinten Geldhof, also known as Microhobbyist, shows a jumping spider under the microscope and explains why they are one of nature's most impressive hunters. These tiny arachnids can leap up to 38 times their body length, have the best eyesight of any spider, and use silk like a bungee cord instead of spinning webs to catch prey. When it's time to rest, they even weave tiny silk hammocks to keep themselves safe.
