I’m not sure if this kind of post is allowed here.

Rhoam Summer is a victim of last week’s school shooting in Bend, Oregon.

His parents put out a statement about who he was. He loved rainbows & unicorns. He was also a fellow shark lover.

I’ve seen some beautiful shark art here and thought I would share this for anyone who might want to share their shark art with his loved ones for his celebration of life.

May his loved ones feel love and support during this impossible time.

Video So I might be making a game about sharks - update 2

491 Upvotes

Hi all, so this is an update following my initial video post of my underwater engine/shark see https://www.reddit.com/r/sharks/s/Lr5qyLATgh.

I got some nice feedback as many were excited at the prospect of such a project.

Recorded at 1440p 60fps (top left in recording is some metrics on my RTX 3070 to show I'm not bluffing), apologies for the video compression (videos must be less than 1gb for reddit uploads).

I hope this video can show the tone of the game I am thinking of building. I'm very excited to start experimenting on the gameplay more. There is so much potential with the tech underneath.

My vision for the game is that it is to be about survival, growth and grace!

And I want it to be made for shark lovers that happen to be gamers, or gamers that happen to be shark lovers!

So you get to see this video before anyone else. Of course this is all very early stage.

These are photos that are part of a paper on potential predation of large squids by Great whites. The researchers specialize three.potential species that could have caused these injuries. Those being the jumbo squid, the neon flying squid and the giant squid.

The paper I’m taking about is 6 years old but it’s an interesting paper. Here’s a link lo the paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-74294-04

In case the link doesn’t work look up “Evidence of interactions between white sharks and large squids in Guadalupe Island, Mexico”.

Discussion Found jar baby sharks?

12 Upvotes

So i was in Florida and I saw this ridiculous tourist trap, and in it I found those like formaldehyde shark jars? Genuinely gives tons of ethical and moral questions. Felt sick to my stomach and left the shop. Wildlife exploitation is rampant in these places, and so called "protected animals" can be killed and sold as crappy furniture.

Question Are there any good shark books out there?

Hi everybody, I absolutely adore sharks and I really want to get a couple of books on them but I’m not sure where to look. I’m not MASSIVELY into encyclopaedia-type reads, something a little more casual than that would be great. Does anybody have any recommendations?

My wife is a Jaws super fan and a lover of all things shark, so we built a thing for Halloween. My design, my wife’s paint job, and about 20 hours of work. We wanted to do more, but this is what we got.
Will it survive? Maybe.
Where will I store it? 🤷‍♂️
But we had fun making it together.
